==Housing==
* '''kita''' — house, home
* ''barkakita'' — residential panel building (cf. [[w:Plattenbau|Plattenbau]], [[w:Panelák|Panelák]]). The most common type of residential building all throughout the Chlouvānem Inquisition - it is estimated that about 80% of all Chlouvānem live in one.
** ''līvakita'' — apartment block (in the vast majority of cases, ''līvakitai'' are panel houses, so that the terms are almost synonyms).
* ''keika'' — a residential building where the flats are in (usually two-, rarely three-story) buildings [[w:it:Corte lombarda|wrapped around a shared internal courtyard<small><sup>(IT)</sup></small>]]. Traditionally typical of the rural Plain, due to urban expansion many such buildings - or ''keikai'' clusters - are found in older areas of most Chlouvānem cities. A few of them still do not have private toilet facilities, only commonal ones in the courtyard.
** The term, moreover, also means "courtyard" or "garden", and in this sense has been used as a compound element for words such as ''tammikeika'' (train station) or ''lairkeika'' (airport). Therefore, ''keika'' in colloquial usage often also means "station".
* ''martakita'' — [[w:shophouse|shophouse]], a type of terraced house where the upper floor(s) is/are residential and the ground floor is a shop. Literally meaning "city house", this is the dominant type of building in the older centres of Chlouvānem cities. ''martakitai'' do not need to have a uniform front - being attached to another such house on at least one side is enough to define them as such.
* ''lailęe kita'' — single-family (detached) house. Common in rural areas, rainforest villages, and in a few older neighborhoods of some cities.
* ''danileliēmiausire kita'' — two-family (semi-detached) house. Very rare in the Inquisition, except for some areas in the Northwest where they were built in Western colonial times.
* ''līvas'' — apartment
** ''lūdulīvas'' — [[w:Penthouse apartment|Penthouse apartment]], attic, loft
===Rooms===
* '''dvārma''' — room
* ''kamelьšītah'' — a central dining/living room, where guests are usually entertained. Common in older buildings, especially urban ones, but not found in most modern houses.
* ''maildvārma'' — laundry room
** ''mundhūdvārma'' — laundry room (less common synonym)
* ''mitendvārma'' — bathroom
* ''puglidvārma'' — bedroom (coll. ''puglǣšah'')
* ''yųljavyāh'' — kitchen
