peer agreement (net): +1see my suggestion below Explanation: http://www.municipiosdeargentina.com/noticias/2017/05/29/132... Los techos inicialmente eran tejas de palma cortada acanalada, porque eran fáciles de conseguir, y luego van a ser sustituidas por las tejas de barro cocido o tejas musleras, debido a que se fabricaban en torno al muslo de la persona. https://books.google.com.jm/books?id=_gZxDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA271&l... ... l** large tiles known as tejas coloniales or tejas musleras, because they were moulded on a man's thigh, but later on the tiles were moulded on the trunk of the cocotero tree, to get a more uniform size.** https://books.google.com.jm/books?id=oNq9akdbqqYC&pg=PT161&l... curved tiles My recommendation would be to leave the term "tejas musleras" with an explanation similar to, "large tiles known as tejas coloniales or tejas musleras, because they were moulded on a man's thigh" or (large) curved roof tiles. |

Mission or barrel tiles Explanation: Mission or barrel tiles – semi-cylindrical tiles laid in alternating columns of convex and concave tiles. Originally they were made by forming clay around a curved surface, often a log or the maker's thigh. Today barrel tiles are mass-produced from clay, metal, concrete or plastic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_tiles |
