poorly constructed OR mis-aligned masonry Explanation: "Relationships" and masonry don't work for me, in English. It sounds like the masonry hasn't been aligned with other parts of a structure. OTOH, relationships among the FREE Masonry (i.e., the Free Masons organization) has been much in the news in France and are at an all-time low: it seems that various Grand Orders have been kicking people out left and right (see long story in last week's Nouvel Obs) Le grand dictionnaire terminologique |
