gable
A gable is the triangular part at the top of the end wall of a building, between the two sloping sides of the roof. the upper end of a house wall where it joins with a sloping roof and makes a shape like a triangle (gafl). Triangular section formed by a roof with two slopes, extending from the eaves to the ridge where the two slopes meet. It may be miniaturized over a dormer window or entranceway. If the gable end projects above the roof level to form a parapet, the edge is often trimmed to form an ornamental silhouette (e.g., curved or stepped), as in Dutch town houses of the 16th and 17th centuries. In Asia, gables often feature projecting roof tiles and grotesque sculptures of animals at the ridge and eaves
