lso called-- _tci[ng][)e]cin b[)i]n[)i]n[)i]'li_, those in place at the doorway passage. _ceza'_--a point; the forked apex. _l'ejca_--the ground; the floor. _bituca_--surrounding projection; the ledge or undisturbed margin of the floor area. _tci[ng][)e]cin_--the road there; the doorway. This term appears to mean "the road there" to the east--that is, to _tci[ng]hanoai_, the sun. The word _tci[ng]_ also means day. _tci[ng][)e]cin s[)i]lai_--the uprights of the door frame. They are also called-- _tci[ng]ecin iai_--but this, strictly speaking, means one upright. _s[)i]lai_, or _s[)i]lai_--a pair. _tci[ng][)e]cin s[)i]lai nanaai_--doorway-post horizontal timber; the lintel. _tci[ng][)e]cin nacas[)i]c[)a]'ni_--another term for the lintel. A single stick lying on the ground is called-- _ts[)i]n s[)i]c[)a]'ni_--but when resting upon something above the ground it is called-- _ts[)i]n cas[)i]c[)a]'ni_. _tc[)i]legi nanaai_--smoke-hole horizontal timber; the crosspiece that rests upon the large doorway timbers and forms the base of the smoke-hole, and also supports one end of the doorway roof. _tc[)i]legi nacas[)i]c[)a]'ni_--this term is also applied to the smoke-hole stick, as in the case of the lintel above. _tci[ng][)e]cin bikace nan[)i]joji_--doorway upper surface flat roof; the doorway roof formed of parallel sticks resting on the lintel and the smoke-hole base. The word-- _bo[.g]ance_--uppermost, is sometimes used instead of _bikace_. The term-- _nan[)i]joji_--means, literally, timbers laid level side by side, and is applied to a floor of wood, as in-- _wuyace nan[)i]joji_--the below-level arrangement of timbers or boards. It is also applied to walls, as in-- _biyace b[)i]n[)i]joji_--the side arrangement of boards. A bridge across a stream is called-- _co'[)i]nl[)i]'nigi nanijoji_--the first term meaning "water flowing." _tci[ng][)e]cin biyace b[)i]n[)i]joji_--doorway side walls; the sticks set in between the uprights of the door-frame and the slanting doorway timbers. _tc[)i]legi_--smoke-hole; derivation obscure. _biyace b[)i]n[)i]joji_--the side "walls;" the smaller timbers which inclose the hut. They are also called-- _biya'ce b[)i]n[)i]n[)i]'li_--leaning around the sides; from _h[)i]'nia'_, slanting, and the plural article pronoun _sinil_.
