Lento
atkı taşı, yapılarda kapı ve pencere gibi dikey boşlukların üzerine yatay olarak konulan ve duvarın devam etmesini sağlayan mimari bloktur. Lentolar yandaki duvarlara oturacak şekilde yerleştirilen taş, beton veyahut ahşaptan da yapılabilmektedir.[1] Dekoratif mimari bir element olarak da kullanılan lentolar, daha ziyade portaller, kapılar, pencereler ve şömineler üzerinde bulunur.

It is a stony eminence, slab-like and somehow airtight despite its continued accretion of character and event.
