jut out
Explanation:
I had a feeling it had to do with the habits of crows, and I was right. The journey led from the Danish "krage ud" > "corbel", per Gyldendals Røde Ordbøger, to my desktop computer's dictionary:

"corbel |ˈkôrbəl|
noun
a projection jutting out from a wall to support a structure above it.
verb ( corbels, corbeling, corbeled ; chiefly Brit. corbels, corbelling, corbelled ) [ with obj. ] (often be corbeled out)
support (a structure such as an arch or balcony) on corbels.
ORIGIN late Middle English: from Old French, diminutive of corp ‘crow,’ from Latin corvus ‘raven’ (perhaps because of the shape of a corbel, resembling a crow's beak)."

Examples in context are at the link.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, Charles. Your ponderings led me to another term that got far more hits in the given context: protrude. I think I will go with that but I really appreciate your help :-)
