roof ridge, hip or valley (where two sections of a roof with different slopes meet)


Explanation:
From the Tesauros-Diccionarios del patrimonio cultural de España, Where two sections of a roof with different slopes meet.

This can therefore be a ridge, valley or hip -
Lima de quiebro - Gambrel roof ridge
Lima hoya /limahoya - roof valley
Lima tesa/limatesa - roof hip
