#arjea

• Arjea — A regional Transylvanian and archaic variant of the noun 'argea', designating the wooden roof of a traditional house or the topmost structural beam in a log building's walls. In its broader ethnographic sense, the term also refers to an archaic weaving loom or a semi-subterranean hut, custom-built for summer use to maintain the humidity required to keep hemp or flax textile threads elastic.
