оконный слив

русский => английский Искусство/Литература Строительство / Строительная техника
I have found "weatherstripping" or "weathering" but this is not right, since the "okonnyi sliv" is actually an architectural feature that sticks out from the bottom of the window, almost like a little eave; a character in this work actually leaps up and grabs on to the "okonnyi sliv," so it's doubly impossible that it is "weatherstripping."

The primary function of a window sill is to serve as a channel for draining water away from the building as the window sill is a horizontal ledge that is made for this basic purpose.

agree Graham Poole : Yes -- the outside sill that keeps the rain from dripping onto the outer wall. Occasionally useful also to hang onto, if you're athletic :)

abutment piece

I've found such an option.
Note from asker:
Thanks for your suggestions; I don't think *abutment piece* is going to be very clear to readers, but I do like *window ledge.* спасибо!
