Some of These 'Rooms' (actually, most of the Rooms I CALL 'Rooms') are more like #Naves ... or some other #RoomWord @Writing_Tips #Nave @Wikipedia @Microsoft
The word “Nave” is built on ancient words that mean "|Ship (Boat)" (from a resemblance in shape) or "Hub of a Cart's Wheel" (on notion of Centrality, possibly |Navel (also the Latin |Umbilicus, the |End of a |Roller of a |Scroll, the Boss of a Shield).
The nave (/neɪv/) is the central part of a church, stretching from the (normally western) main entrance or rear wall, to the transepts, or in a church without transepts, to the chancel. When a church contains side aisles, as in a basilica-type building, the strict definition of the term "nave" is restricted to the central aisle. In a broader, more colloquial sense, the nave includes all areas available for the lay worshippers, including the side-aisles and transepts. Either way, the nave is distinct from the area reserved for the choir and clergy.

You probably notice that the above list is 'sparsely-linked' (or that a lot of the listed words are not yet hyperlinked), and probably suspect that they'll stay unlinked for quite a while. That's probably true, because of the way I 'do this work' ... like (apparently) The Sower in Lord Jesus' thus-titled Parable, who 'casts the seed randomly & lets it grow as it will'—I picked up all these words, cast them 'randomly' (on this blog) & 'let them grow as they will' (hyperlinking them as I mention them again, writing this commentary as I'm inspired, or 'putting down peat' in the form of etymology-research).
Know anything else interesting about any of that? Comment!

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
