The asker has declined this answer Comment: lancet suggests the shape of the window is narrow and pointed which is not necessary the case. monofore I am finding in my text are all round. |
single-light window (see comment) Explanation: If this text is intended for people familiar with the architectural jargon, single-light is the expression to use. If it is intended for lay people, I would use single opening window instead. |
