Norwegian uses two different words for "wall". One, "mur", refers to independent outdoor structures used to fortify and delineate. The other, "vegg", is used to refer to the walls of a building, regardless of its location and material composition. Both are occasionally used metaphorically, "mur" more so. "Mur" can also refer to the type of material such walls are typically made of, hence the possible construction "murvegg", meaning the wall of a house composed of brick or concrete.

FromMiddle Welshmur, fromOld Welshmur, fromProto-Brythonic*mʉr, fromLatinmūrus.
The most commonly used word for“wall” in Welsh iswal. The wordmur is used most often when referring to large walls such as the defensive walls of a city orMur Mawr Tsieina(“the Great Wall of China”). It is also used in compound words, for examplemurlun,rhagfur,cellfur,briwydd y mur. The wordpared refers to an internal partition wall whereasmagwyr is a literary word for an external wall, little used now but preserved in such things as place and plant names.
