Wånd

Etymology
From, from , from , from.

Noun

 * 1) wall, partition
 * 2) vertical face of a precipice, any large vertical surface

Usage notes

 * The words Wånd and are often but not always interchangeable. Even when they are synonymous, there is sometimes a preference for one of them:
 * Wånd is predominant for walls that are not made of stone, concrete, or the like. Mauer usually implies masonry.
 * With stone walls, only Mauer is commonly used for freestanding ones.
 * Both words are used for the walls of buildings. Wand is the normal choice, however, when one refers to them as seen from the inside (for example, a painting is typically said to hang ån der Wånd, "on the wall", rather than ån der Mauer).
