Additional Notes:
HolQeD 8:3, p. 2, {matlh juppu' mu'mey}. There are two special terms for the top of a room, or "ceiling." {rav'eq} refers to the ceiling of any room (though, more narrowly, it refers to the ceiling of a room that has a room above it, as in a multistory structure); {pa' beb} refers specifically to the ceiling of a room which is on the top (or only) story of a structure. It is possible to use the term {'aqroS} to refer to the ceiling, though the other two terms are more common.
Synonyms: pa' beb
