the same schematic platform of terraced hillsides. We have marked the main entrance of the
house (see also Figure 18) as wuts gwazgafte (God's passageway) outside of the model house,

Figure 19a, 19b, 19c: Three perspectives of a 3D plan of a traditional Dghweɗe house:
Our 3D model is a
schematic replica
of
the
typical
groundplan from
the
previous
chapter
(Figure
18). It shows the
lowered
animal
sheds and includes
the foyer area in
greater detail.
19a: 3D view from lower kitchen corner
Each
of
the
perspectives has a
different
key:
Figure 19a features
the same numbers
as are used for the
rooms in Figure 18
of
the
2D
groundplan,
but
instead of repeating
the key of Figure
18 we have simply
written the room
numbers into the
groundplan.
19b: 3D view from upper kitchen
Figure
19b
contains the names
for the lower and
upper
room
complex,
and
Figure 19c shows
the same for the
foyer area.
Notice that Figure
19c contains the
Dghweɗe
names
for the different
passageways
discussed in the
previous chapter,
together with the
English
translations, while
the main entrance
is only marked in
Figure 19a.
