* ''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. | * ''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>]].

* ''martakita'' — [[w:shophouse|shophouse]], a type of terraced house where the upper floor(s) is/are residential and the ground floor is a shop.

''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. | * ''martakita'' — [[w:shophouse|shophouse]], a type of terraced house where the upper floor(s) is/are residential and the ground floor is a shop.
