I had never heard of these and had to look them up:
"Judas gate": A small door or gate (still large enough to pass through, I think) set into a larger door or gate (as in a factory).
"Judas door": A small hole in a door through which a person can spy without being seen from the other side. Or sometimes also the same as the Judas gate.
"Judas hole": A peephole
- themoonisachees 3y agoPeepholes are simply referred to as "Judas" in French, I don't think there's even another word for them.
- gattr 3y agoSimilarly in Polish ("judasz"). The more formal term is "wizjer", though that can also refer to "helmet visor" or "camera viewfinder".
