| - [[w:|]][[Category: derivations|Loft]] lofte (“‘air, sky, upper region, loft’”) from [[w:|]][[Category: derivations|Loft]] loft, of [[w:|]][[Category: derivations|Loft]] origin, from [[w:|]][[Category: derivations|Loft]] lopt (“‘upper chamber, attic, region of sky, air’”) from Proto-Germanic *luftuz (“‘air, sky’”). Akin to [[w:|]] luft "air" ([[w:|]] Luft), [[w:|]] lyft (“‘air’”). More at lift, aloft.
- The loft is an upper-level balcony in the barn of the Kent Farm. Jonathan Kent built the loft for his son Clark, calling it Clark's "Fortress of Solitude" - a place for him to come and think. Clark Kent often spends more time in the loft than in his actual house.
- Note: This is sometimes different from the other kind of loft, which means an upper floor that is partly open to the lower floor, like a barn loft or choir loft. However, as you can see from the picture above, a second floor space is sometimes added into the loft space.
