Hebrew term or phrase: שלח מדרגה
In the following sentence:
מורכב על רום או שלח מדרגה
I assume it is the step span (width), the horizontal part we step on, but would like to verify what is the most appropriate term for this in English.
רום מדרגה is the height of the step (the perpendicular part), which leads to the next step.
