pivot / tilt-and-turn

Explanation:
I know what a "ventana abatible"looks like, they swivel open normally outwards from the top or bottom, and I think that is what is called over here a tilt-and-turn or pivot window.

The following is from the link below and has good ilustrations

Tilt-and-turn (also called dual-action) windows (not illustrated) swing from the side or pivot from the middle. Others pivot from both the bottom (like a hopper) and the side (like a casement). This allows for cleaning the outside of the window from the inside of the house and can be a valuable feature if a window is in a location where it’s difficult to get at from the outside. Be sure to have an effective weather seal for this type of window.

Pivot
... The uniqueness of the pivot window is the ability to rotate the opening sash to the room inside for cleaning, fulfilling the requirement of the specification. ...
