KAMPA—A fillet, a small flat band which occurs chiefly between mouldings to connect or separate them. "Of all the rectangular mouldings it has the least height. Its projection, though generally equal to its altitude, frequently varies according to the position of the principal members, which, it is employed, to connect or to separate. It answers in every respect to the fillet." (Rām Rāz, Ess. Arch. Hind. p. 24).
