b. The jamb comes from the French for leg and supports the outer edge of the window (the left and right boundaries).
c. The frame is the entire outer portion of the window and the construct in which the sashes or other parts move.
d. Glazing is any process or material applied to panes of glass.
e. Panes are individual units of glass, divided by muntin bars.

g The sill is the lower portion of the window, which usually protrudes out from the wall.
h. Muntin bars separate individual panes (also known as grilles or windowpane dividers).
