Finally distributivity entails several other pleasant properties. For example, an element of a distributive lattice is meet-prime if and only if it is meet-irreducible, though the latter is in general a weaker property. By duality, the same is true for join-prime and join-irreducible elements.

I have added a proof in Distributive lattice/Proofs. Ceroklis 21:14, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
