"fulfill" means "accept or reject". "resolve" means "adopt or accept, depending on whether the value is a promise-like or not" (in other words, what the resolver's resolve() method does).  "adopt" means accepting or rejecting with the same value as the adopted promise.  If I should be using better terms, let me know.
