luce
"Peraltro, come accertalo, le aperture in questione erano, e sono, "luci” e da esse nessun “inspicere” e “perspicere" in alienum è possìbile, tenuto conto della loro conformazione. "
One party has these openings in the wall of his house (luci) to provide light. What is the technical name for these in English? Preferably a term which is the same regardless of whether the opening is glazed or not.
Thanks in advance.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

This IS an architectural term as well as a legal term. But hey -go ahead and find something better.
| Thanks for the answer. Is this the actual technical term? If you google defined aperture most of the results seem to relate to photography... |
| The case involves a dispute over whether an opening is associated with a right to light (and on the facts it was held that it was not). So what I am after is an architectural term not a legal term. |
Something went wrong...
