 Imbricate and imbrication and overlap and imber and tegument and tegula and roof
Imber is simply "a shower or storm of rain; rain water." An imbrex is "a semi-cylindrical tile, placed over the joints between the roof-tiles." Roof tiles are tegulae, derived from the root tego, which means to "cover" or "roof over." The fourth principle part of the verb tego is tectus.
A pantile, as the Britannica says, combines the tegula and imbrex, so that it is a "double-curved" roof tile, linking the tile to the next one and creating a funnel or groove for the rain water to wash down the roof.
The concave-shaped tile is the tegula and the convex-shaped tile, holding together the two tegulae, is the imbrex.

In Britain the first clay plain tiles, said to be copies of wooden shingles, were made by the Romans.
The tapered shape of their tegula and imbrex tiles (often referred to today as "over-and-under" tiles) was said to be originally achieved by forming the raw clay over a thigh.
Clay tiles are available in a wide range of colours and sizes, though tend to be fairly small and flat.

Data told me that apparently Bartok Imbrex proposed to Lillith, but Helibore (I very much doubt Lillith was involved in the decision) chose Sawall as we offered them more.
