Сonceptual aspects of specialized terms regarding traditional gate and fences

Summary/Abstract: The main components of a traditional house are the gate and the fence. The gate of the yard is a sign of the entrance to the yard. The place marked by the gate is like a boundary stone on the border of the property and at the same time a landmark that shapes the attitude towardsthe owner and the aesthetic value of the public space. Thefence surrounding the entire yard, the entire household space, finally ensures the protection of the household and the owners of the house. Many specialized terms are associatedwith these ethnographic elements, which provide a good understanding of the corresponding area. The "portiţa" (small gate, wicket), named after the miniature gate, is an adjacent smaller opening that was included in a single system intended for daily use by home owners without forced opening of the large gate. The latch is a lock consisting of a small movable bar that is inserted into a fixed eye andensures the closure of the gate at night. At the same time,the bolt is also a link used in the construction of fences.The posts are simple or ornamented columns on whichthe gate is attached with hinges. The latter are metal devicesconsisting of two hinged parts, used to connect the gates to the pillars and ensure their closing and opening. The pediment is a threshold above the gates connecting the pillars, called in some places a gate.
