** In practically all Chlouvānem houses (only old, formerly upper class rural/formerly rural houses which have one or more ''kamelšitai'' are exceptions), living rooms double as family rooms (a concept which does not have a separate Chlouvānem term, due to its rarity) and, as far as space allows it, entertainment/recreation rooms/home theaters (a usage sometimes referred to as ''læchlyendvārma(i)'' "fun (i.e. diversion, in the etymological sense) room(s)"); if the latter usage is aimed at children, then it's usually the children's own rooms which double as recreation rooms. | |||
