DefinitionShort: a particularly strong permanent wall, primarily the wall built around a city for its protection
Glosses: city wall
Comments: In a number of languages a translator must make a clear distinction between a wall of a house and a city wall. The wall of a house may be called ‘a side of a house’ and an inner wall ‘a partition in a house,’ while a city wall is often related to terms such as ‘barricade’ or ‘fence.’ Hence, a city wall may be called ‘a fortified fence around a city.’
