A wall which divides a territory into parts (such as the
Berlin Wall) is also called a {tlhoy'}, even though neither
side of it is the interior of a structure. On occasion, for
clarity, such a wall is termed a {chevwI' tlhoy'} "separator
wall") or a {pIn tlhoy'}, literally "boss wall," presumably
dating back to a time when each subterritory had a specific
person in charge.
