kerbs/kirbs/curbs & cunette/gutters


Explanation:
kerb/kirb/curb (Αγγλικά) = κράσπεδο
bordure (Γαλλικά)
bordschwelle (Γερμανικά)

Raised strips on the sides of the roadway width of a bridge for use by pedestrian traffic and also for confining vehicular traffic within the roadway width. If not catering to pedestrian traffic, they are termed "wheel guards" or "fender curbs".

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Cunette (Αγγλ.)/cunette (Γαλλ.)/cunette (Mittelwasserrinne) (Γερμ.) = ρείθρο

1) A longitudinal trough or channel built as an integral part of a large flat-bottomed conduit for concentrating the low flows to develop self-cleansing.
2) A trench in a ditch or moat for drainage or a subdrain excavated in the bed of a surface drain to drain seepage water or to discharge low flows.

Με την έννοια 2) ισχύουν τα ακόλουθα στα Γερμανικά:

= Sickerstrang, Niedrigwasserinne oder Trockenwetterabfluβrinne

Πολλύγλωσσο Τεχνικό Λεξικό Αρδεύσεων και Αποστραγγίσεων, ΤΕΕ, Αθήνα 1975

--------------------------------------------------------------------

ρείθρο = gutter/flood
# εγάρσιο = water splash
# ποταμού = bed
# οχετού = invert of a culvert

Ελληνοαγγλικό Λεξικό Τεχνικών Όρων, Χ.Χιονίδη

--------------------------------------------------------------------

culvert = οχετός, υπόγειο αυλάκι
gutter = υδρορρόη, ρείθρο
