A humble abode is a type of dwelling that is typically small and simple. It can refer to a variety of structures, such as a HUT, HOVEL, SHANTY, or SHACK. A HUT is a small, primitive structure made of natural materials such as wood, mud, or straw. A HOVEL is a small, crudely built shelter, usually with only one room. A SHANTY is a small, poorly constructed dwelling, often made of scrap materials. Finally, a SHACK is a small, roughly built shelter, usually made of wood.
