Additional Notes: |

Chinese (traditional) ..... 指大房間中凹入的小空間。 |
Dutch ..... Wordt gebruikt voor kleine inspringende kleine ruimten van grotere kamers. Aanvulling: kleine vertrekjes grenzend aan een grotere kamer en daarvan met een deur of een gordijn afgescheiden, meestal zonder eigen uitgang en vensterlicht, gewoonlijk als slaapplaats ingericht. Gebruik 'nissen' voor uitsparingen in de dikte van muren, zodat het muurvlak op enige hoogte of breedte dieper ligt. |
German ..... Zu einem größeren Raum gehörender kleiner, zurückgesetzter Bereich. |
Spanish ..... Utilizada para designar a los pequeños espacios de receso fuera de las grandes salas. |
