(st.k 12/7/98):  An exterior wall (that is, a wall which separates the inside of a building from the outside) is a {reD}.  For the interior side of an exterior wall, it is quite common to use {tlhoy'}, but the phrase {pa' reD}, literally "room's exterior wall" ({pa'} "room") is also heard, referring to the wall in a room which faces outside (as opposed to the other walls in the room whose other sides are still indoors).

PUN:  Spanish *pared* "wall"
