Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Daniel Arnold (X): they are not joined,quite the opposite, they are loose. it makes a huge difference because if joined the stability and static would be different. the point is to have some elements abutted and some not-> room to move separately -> structural stability.

  -> it would be good to have a German reference that clearly explains/visualizes the usage of this term in the context of roof construction
