Where are the permissions documented?

Under what topic in BOL is the meaning of the various permissions such as
"Alter", "References", etc., documented?

In other words, where is it documented, what you can DO if you have been
granted "References" or "Impersonate" permission on a securable?

I'm looking in SQL 2005.

I have looked in Permissions:listed and Permissions:objects and
Permissions:types, and several other topics, but no luck so far. It's as
if the meanings of the various permissions are supposed to be obvious.

Permissions:listed shows some of them; it explains "Alter" but not
"Delete", for example. Some of the permissions, such as "References", are
not documented anywhere that I can find.
