it would appear that these walls were simply a lining to the cellar Parece que estas eran simplemente paredes interiores a la periferia del sotano, Explanation: porque apoyaban el peso ...etc. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs 5 mins (2004-04-19 18:54:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The meaning here is not that of revestimiento or alineamiento but rather of inner load-bearing walls in close proximity to the outer periphery of the cellar. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs 2 mins (2004-04-19 23:52:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I chose the word periphery because there is no clear indication whether there are outer walls at all, it could simply be a cellar excavated from whatever underlies the building (stone? earth?), with a lining of inner walls near the outer confines (periphery) of the cellar, whether that be walls as such or just the defining shape of the cellar. |
