      Let \(\Gamma\) be a group and \(\gamma\in G\). An \(m\in\mathbb{N}\) is said to be a finitistic order for \(\gamma\) if there is a finite group \(G\) and an epimorphism \(h\colon\Gamma\to G\) such that \(h(\gamma)\) has order \(m\) in \(G\).NEWLINENEWLINE It is well-known that all nontrivial elements of a given finitely generated orientable surface group of genus \(g\geq 1\) admit a given integer \(m\geq 1\) as a finitistic order. This statement is in a very interesting manner extended to finitely generated Kleinian groups. Let \(\Gamma\) be a finitely generated, torsion-free Kleinian group. Let \(m>2\), \(m\in\mathbb{N}\), and let \(X\) be the set of all elements of \(\Gamma\) for which \(m\) is a finitistic order. Then \(\Gamma\setminus X\) is a union of finitely many conjugacy classes.
