ŪHĀPOHA—Philosophically ‘uha’ implies a conjecture, a guess, ‘a hypothetical reasoning which helps the right recognition,’ hence architecturally an additional moulding or member to fill up any unspecified gap; ‘apoha’ or ‘pratyūha’ means ‘a removal,’ hence leaving out a moulding, or an architectural member to complete a structure. Thus the former implies the addition and the latter the omission of a moulding.
