         3 . The arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein at least two elevations, for example more than two elevations, for form-fitting engagement in at least two corresponding depressions on the first wooden component are provided on the connection surface of the tenon. 
     
     
         4 . The arrangement according to  claim 3 , comprising one of the following features:
 wherein the at least two elevations on the connection surface have areas of equal size;   wherein the at least two elevations on the connection surface have areas of different size.   
     
     
         5 . The arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one insertion hole in the tenon runs obliquely with respect to the connection surface and/or obliquely with respect to the end face. 
     
     
         6 . The arrangement according to  claim 5 , wherein an angle between a running direction of the at least one insertion hole in the tenon, on the one hand, and a normal of the connection surface and/or a normal of the end face, on the other hand, lies in a range from 15° to 75°, in particular in a range from 30° to 60°. 
     
     
         7 . The arrangement according to  claim 5 , wherein a plurality of insertion holes in the tenon run obliquely with respect to one another and/or obliquely with respect to the connection surface and/or obliquely with respect to the end face. 
     
     
         8 . The arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the tenon has side faces which are inclined with respect to one another in a cross-sectional view and merge into the end face via roundings. 
     
     
         9 . The arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the tenon has side faces which are, in a cross-sectional view, inclined with respect to one another and bend in on itself, and merge into the end face, in particular via an edge. 
     
     
         10 . The arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the tenon has side faces which are inclined with respect to one another in a cross-sectional view and have steps. 
     
     
         11 . The arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the tenon is double-trapezoidal in a cross-sectional view. 
     
     
         12 . The arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the tenon is triangular in a plan view. 
     
     
         13 . The arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the tenon has a triangular section and an adjoining rectangular section in a plan view. 
     
     
         14 . A wall, ceiling, facade or roof element connection, comprising:
 an arrangement according to  claim 1 ;   a first wooden component, to which the connection surface of the tenon is fastened or can be fastened by means of the releasable connection;   a second wooden component, to which the tenon is connected or can be connected, such that the second wooden component faces the end face of the tenon, wherein the second wooden component has a pocket or groove with an insertion region for inserting the tenon and a holding region for holding the tenon, wherein the holding region is configured with an inner contour which is adapted to the outer contour of the tenon and widens inwards.
