An ordered semigroup S will be called principally ordered if, for every x ɛ S, there exists

x* = max {y ɛ S; xyxx}.

Here we shall be concerned with the case where S is regular. We begin by listing some basic properties that arise from the above definition. As usual, we shall denote by V(x) the set of inverses of x ɛ S.
