arestas (do telhado)
As "arestas do telhado" são onde se encontram as "água do telhado", isto é, os planos inclinados do telhado.
Claro que estão relacionadas com as "águas do telhado": num telhado de 4 águas existem 4 arestas. Por isso é que um "hipped roof" é chamado de "4 águas". Mas creio que específicamente os "hips" são as "arestas".
