sql server replication: Hi!

I am trying to understand the replication in SQL server and while
reading the book I came across the terms "updatable subscription" and
"initializing subscription". So can anyone please help me understanding
these two terms with a bit explanation. That would be extremely
helpful.

Thanks a lot in advance.

cheers!!!

Updateable subscription means that DML (inserts, updates, deletes) which
originate on the subscriber by a process other than replication are
replicated back to the publisher.

Initializing the subscription means that the subscription database is being
connected to, to begin the replication process.
