#weaving loom

• Small mechanical component — An archaic technical term or regionalism previously used in Transylvanian villages to denote a small-sized component within a traditional hydraulic mechanism (such as a mill wheel, a fulling mill, or a whirlpool) or a piece from a manual weaving loom. In industrial archaeology and rural economic history analyses, the word documents the empirical engineering solutions invented by craftsmen to optimize motive force transmission or textile guiding.
• 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.
• Frail old woman — An archaic diminutive form or rare regional variant for an old woman; a small grandmother or a fragile, reclusive elderly person. In certain isolated lexical contexts, the term was also used to describe a rudimentary wooden tool or part, worn out by time, used in weaving looms or traditional textile fiber processing.
