I believe rafters are angled pieces that follow the pitch of the roof and purloins are horizontal pieces on top of the rafters to help stabilize the rafters and provide a place to attach the roofing. I can think of a vertical piece being called a stud in dimensional framing and a post in timber framing. There are many terms used in construction to further modify many other terms as well.
