A traditional yurt (from the Turkics) or ger (Mongolian) is a portable, round tent covered with skins or felt and used as a dwelling by nomads in the steppes of Central Asia. The structure comprises an angled assembly or latticework of pieces of wood or bamboo for walls, a door frame, ''ribs'' (''poles'', rafters), and a ''wheel'' (''crown'', compression ring) possibly steam-bent. The roof structure is often self-supporting, but large yurts may have interior posts supporting the crown. The top of the wall of self-supporting yurts is prevented from spreading by means of a ''tension band'' which opposes the force of the roof ribs. Modern yurts may be permanently built on a wooden platform; they may use modern materials such as steam-bent wooden framing or metal framing, canvas or tarpaulin, Plexiglas dome, wire rope, or radiant insulation. ==Etymology and synonyms== * Yurt - originally from a Turkic word referring to the imprint left in the ground by a moved yurt, and by extension, sometimes a person's homeland, kinsmen, or feudal appanage. The term came to be used in reference to the physical tent-like dwellings only in other languages. In modern Turkish the word "yurt" is used as the synonym of homeland or a dormitory. In Russian the structure is called "yurta" (юрта), whence the word came into English. * гэр (transliterated: ger, (:ˈɡɛr)) - in Mongolian simply means "home".〔(Mongolian Gers or Yurts: heritage of nomadic peoples )〕〔(ger (dwelling house) - Memidex dictionary/thesaurus )〕 * gerði (transliterated: gerthi) in Icelandic means an enclosure and garður (transliterated: garthur) means a wall, a fence, an enclosure, a house, a farm. * тирмә (transliterated: tirmä) is the Bashkir term for yurt. * киіз үй (transliterated: kïiz üy, (:kiˈəs yj)) - the Kazakh word, and means "felt house". * боз үй (transliterated: boz üy, (:bɔs yj)) - the Kyrgyz term is meaning "grey house", because of the color of the felt. * ak öý and gara öý ((:ɑk œj, ɡɑˈrɑ œj) - In Turkmen the term is both literally "white house" and "black house", depending on its luxury and elegance. * "Kherga"/"Jirga" - Afghans call them. * "Kheymah" (خیمه) is the word for a yurt or a tent like dwelling in Pakistan, from the Urdu (and Persian) :خیمه In Persian yurt is called ''chador'' (چادر), in Tajik the names are ''yurt, khona-i siyoh, khayma'' (юрт, хонаи сиёҳ, хайма). * өг (ög, (:œk)) is the Tuvan word for yurt. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yurt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
