agree  Jim Tucker (X): This is a central European feature unknown to other regions; it is probably best to use the term *in quotes*, as it is likely a translation. The best google search is a booksearch: http://books.google.com/books?q="jumping vault" &btnG=Search...

  -> Pravda, jumping vault je tzv./so-called obkrocna klenba. Tzv.je tzv.-so-called a nie jumping v. Ak "jumping vault" nie je vo Websters dict. (ci nie je), tak by sa vyraz nemal pouzit. Tak to bolo ustanovene v roku 2007 niekedy v okt.nov.
disagree  Sarka Rubkova: Rib or ribbed floor is something different; rib/ribbed vault is žebrová klenba and the difference in name is not just for fun

agree  Pavel Blann: I'm just eliminating srubkova's "disagree"
