berm Explanation: Not 100% it's a full cognate Here is it's definition: a. A narrow ledge or shelf, as along the top or bottom of a slope b. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, & West Virginia The shoulder of a road I was initially confused by the question, because where I live we use "berm" and "shoulder" (бровка) for the same thing but this definition explained to me the problem :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2013-02-10 03:04:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry *width* of the berm |
