Why out?

See please:

A--------------------B

A is start point of the loop's parameter.
B is finish point of the loop's parameter.

Parameter goes "from the A point to the B point".
Is "out A to B" good in English for the line above ???

Any key word inside EU interpreter is just 1 byte.
In Russian, "FROM" = "OT" or "IZ", "OUT" = "IZ", 
but "FOR" = "DLYA"
