peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1ornemental coping Explanation: The English word for acrotère is acroterion, which refers to some sort of decorative feature usually at the top of things like pediments. So may refer to some cladding with decorative features on it. (Although habillage is the term I've come across the most often for cladding.) Not a definitive answer, but I hope it helps towards finding a solution. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-01-22 09:42:29 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, should be ornamental! |
