So, apologies to start, as I have no expertise to offer. That said, this reminds me of an experience, very early on, in Germany.

I was going through the exchange program’s intensive monthlong German-language course, and we went out to a weekly market with the task of writing about something we’d seen. And there was house siding.

Getting back to Gymnasium, I pulled out my trusty Langenscheidt and looked up “siding.”

The unfortunate thing was there are multiple uses of that word, and coming up with Haeusernebengleis led to the instructor losing their shit laughing in a way I’d not again see in that coursework. Germans have a sense of humour; they just have a very high threshold.

Nebengleis is, validly, a siding. Problem being, the railroad variety. I’d essentially invented “a house on the track next to the track,” which landed fully in the realm of the absurd.

Sorry I can’t help, but I hopefully provided a chuckle.

I’ve only lived with stucco all my life, but in tackling unknown home improvement projects I’ve found Google lens to be a lifesaver to learn what all the pieces parts I’m dealing with are called.
