Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter VI, § 3. Exponential invariants

Let x=∑p∈Pxpepx = \sum_{p \in P} x_p e^p be an element of A[P]A[P]. The set S of p∈Pp \in P such that xp≠0x_p \neq 0 is called the support of x and the set X of maximal elements of S is called the maximal support of x. A term xpepx_p e^p with p∈Xp \in X is then called a maximal term of x.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
