    Hi all, I have a quick one you might be able to help me with
    "mezi přičhou a dřikem T"
    Is this "between the shaft and crossbar of a T" ?

    Thanks,

    Rob.

    dřík a příčka are technical terms and their meaning can differ by branch of knowledge.

    Can you specify if it's about ancient arms, architecture, printing, puppet theatre, mountaineering?

    Thanks for your help.

    I was specifically looking for their use in describing the oblique pericardial sulcus on the heart, i'm reading a czech text that suggest's it can be approached at an angle "mezi přičhou a dřikem T". If i'm reading it correctly at all! "přistupny uhel mezi přičhou a dřikem T"

    Unfortunately I didn't found anything related to heart.

    Strictly speaking, I believe that

    příčka is something what is crosswise
    dřík is something what is vertical or oblique

    So, if we talk about something with T shape, příčka can be horizontal line and dřík vertical line.

    Yes, exactly, in typography dřík (= stem) is the term for the vertical line of letter T, and příčka is the term for the horizontal line.

    Příčka christiané křiži není tak dlouho jak dřík. :wink:

    But I would never use the word "dřík" here, I would even not understand it :eek:

    Officially the parts are "kůl a břevno"

    "Dřík" is used mainly in technical language

    Brevo křest'anského kříže je kratší než jeho kůl.

    V kostelu, když katoliky chodí před oltářem, nebo než si sednou, je si zvyk klekat a dělat značku kříže.

    That's the crossbar of a christian cross is shorter than it's stem?
