Trivial question:

This doesn't seem to appear in any of my theory books, and when I asked my
teacher, I just got a blank look and a nervous cough I want the cellist
in a string quartet to play over the bridge for a short section in a piece
and then return to normal bowing position, but what is the term that cancels
a Sul Ponticello?

"ord" or "nat" are the most common abbreviations. I use "ord" myself,
but both are correct, and you'll see that major publishers of new music
often use both (presumably based on composers' peferences?)- though
using them interchangeably in the same piece wouldn't be a good idea.
It's hard for me to give an exact statistic, but I encounter "ord" more
in new published scores- but that's just based on the sample of scores I
see, or own.

Thanks, I guess there's no point in worrying about "ord" being a different
language to Sul Pont

It's not- it's the same thing in Italian- i.e. ordinario- and naturale
for that matter.
