Thank you.

So, I admit that I am almost completely ignorant of iGeom. I haven't
used it. But, I didn't think that has a concept of an 'entity' like
iMesh does. I could be blowing smoke here but I thought the concept of
an entity in iMesh was related to discretization of an abstract point
set into elemental pieces used in numerical approximations and that
iGeom is concerned only with the abstract point set part of that. If
that is so, I can see why 'Ent' might be missing in the names of the
analogous iGeom functions.
