hip

Explanation:
Hi,

I had to translate this in the same context only a few weeks ago, which is why this is in my personal list.
lima = viga inclinada, dispuesta en la intersección de dos vertientes que forma ángulo saliente (limatesa = hip) o entrante (limahoya = valley)
explanation from VOX.

hip = the arris of a roof from the ridge to the eaves; the triangular area of a sloping roof rising from the end of a rectangular building to meet a longitudinal ridge

New Shorter English Dictionary

I suggest hip tile = 103 hits in google or end hip tile (only 2)
Also found hip ridge tile
