toothing stones Explanation: The verb « harper » was only cited in a medical context on the GDT. Other wwsie from my archi dicos I found the following : (Architecture & Construction, Forbes, J.R., Lavoisier) - harpage (m) = in-and-out bond - harpe (f) = projecting stretcher brick, toothing stone, toother - harpes = toothing Architecture & Batîment, Hasol, D., Le Moniteur) - harpage (harpement) = toothing - harpe = corner iron - harpe / pierre d’attente = toothing stone bâtiment 1 / 2 maçonnerie toothingTerme(s) apparenté(s)toothing-stone tooth harpe n. f.Terme(s) apparenté(s)pierre d'attente n. f.dentelure n. f.arrachement n. m. Déf. :Saillie d'un mur disposé pour s'imbriquer à une future construction contiguë.Saillie de pierres de taille devant servir de raccordement ultérieur d'un mur avec un autre.Saillie en pierre, brique, etc., préparée en attente pour assurer la liaison d'une maçonnerie ultérieure. [Office de la langue française, 1982] bâtiment 2 / 2 maçonnerie harpe n. f. Déf. :Ensemble de pierres de largeurs différentes dans la chaîne d'un mur assurant le liant entre maçonneries diverses. Apart from that, any references I found on the web for “toothing stone” were either used figuratively (and perhaps erroneously for “corner stone”?) or to describe a musical instrument. And I wondered if that too might not have been by mistake : see below!!! http://www.standingstones.com/bretonharp.html “The previously mentioned site can be translated into English, or some facsimile of it. (The computer seems to want to translate the French word "harpe", meaning "harp", into "toothing-stone". I didn't even know there was an English term "toothing-stone". )” |
