Pom 'doorway' 'door', referring to the hole and not to the leaf 

 or operculum {p'o + M). The word is applied only to holes 

 through which people pass. P'odl can be applied to a roofhole

 cf. Fewkes' spelling " Poii " as the name of the ' snow ' cachina (p. 

 123 of the same report).

 architecture. Probably entirely distinct from qioa-^ qw'i- below.
