This is an architectural glossary:
Abocinado: Se aplica al arco que tiene más anchura o elevación por un lado que por el otro./ Vano cuya luz aumenta gradualmente de un paramento a otro.
When talking about an arch, could this be rampant arch?
What about the second meaning?
Thanks

translation suggested in Diccionario LID construcción e inmobiliario
where it says for abocinar: dar forma de bocina a un hueco, es decir, darle mayor abertura por una cara que por la otra (splay)
according to the architecture dictionary (Oxford) a splayed arch is an arch over an aperture with splayed jambs, i.e. with a larger span on the inside wallthan on the exterior
This would seem to fit your explanation. A rampant or raking arch is one with one impost higher than the other, and I don't think this is your case here.

Seems to depend on the dictionary - I\'ve found it translated as splayed arch (capialzado that is) in two (including the same dictionary mentioned above) and in another as skew arch. I\'m trying to find some more info for you.
