More than finitely many endsegments
require
infinitely many indices, i.e., all indices.
No natnumbers are remaining in the contents.

 ⎛ That's the intersection.

And it is the empty endsegment. The contents cannot disappear "in the limit". It has to be lost one by one if ∀k ∈ ℕ : E(k+1) = E(k) \ {k} is really true for all natnumbers.

 Yes.
 

That means an empty endsegment and many having finite contents.
