   1. The middle part of the wheel in which the axle moves.

   Out, out, thou strumpet fortune! all you gods
   In general synod take away her pow’r;
   Break all the spokes and fellies from her wheel,
   And bowl the round nave down the hill of heav’n,
   As low as to the fiends. William Shakespeare, Hamlet.

   In the wheels of waggons the hollows of the naves, by their swift rotations on the ends of the axle-trees, produce a heat sometimes so intense as to set them on fire. John Ray.

1. Nave

   The nave () is the central part of a church, stretching from the (normally western) main entrance or rear wall, to the transepts, or in a church without transepts, to the chancel. When a church contains side aisles, as in a basilica-type building, the strict definition of the term "nave" is restricted to the central aisle. In a broader, more colloquial sense, the nave includes all areas available for the lay worshippers, including the side-aisles and transepts. Either way, the nave is distinct from the area reserved for the choir and clergy.

1. nave

   A nave is the central or main part of a church, extending from the entrance, also known as the narthex, to the chancel. It is typically flanked by aisles on either side, separated by columns or piers. It is usually the place where the congregation sits or stands. The term originates from medieval Latin 'navis’ meaning 'ship,' likely symbolizing the ship of the Church sailing towards heaven.

1. Nave

   In Romanesque and Gothic Christian abbey, cathedral basilica and church architecture, the nave is the central approach to the high altar, the main body of the church. "Nave" was probably suggested by the keel shape of its vaulting. The nave of a church, whether Romanesque, Gothic or Classical, extends from the entry — which may have a separate vestibule, the narthex — to the chancel and is flanked by lower aisles separated from the nave by an arcade. If the aisles are high and of a width comparable to the central nave, the structure is sometimes said to have three naves.
