Descrizione:

A partition or internal wall. The OED has numerous examples from the Old English period with a score or more different spellings. The form quoted here was emerging by the fourteenth century and Wycliffe (1382) has ‘a boowid woughe’. It was not uncommon into the seventeenth century: 1575 ‘the east side of a <i>Bordeshutt woghe</i>’ Halifax (HAS37/123), 1594 <i>the north end of the barn</i> … <i>divided by one woughe from the residue</i>, Hopton (YRS39/91). Compound terms are evidence of the construction materials used: 1627 <i>the West end … of one lathe or barn containing two bayes … which was lately divided from the East end … with a rysed woghe</i>, Allerton (MD178); 1630 <i>one stud woughe devydinge the housbody from the upper end</i>, Honley (YDK130.); 1634 <i>one watled wanded or rised woghe</i>, Addingham (GRD). A ‘rised’ wough was one made of small branches. See warping wough.
