**c. *pocil*** (n.) The word is not attested in Tamil; but cf. Ka. *hosilu* 'entrance'. (*KSP Saṁkṣipta Kannaḍa Nighaṇṭu*); To. *pōş* 'entrance', *pōş-āṟ* 'doorway', cognate with Ka. *bāgil* 'entrance, doorway' (D. 5354). The linguistic evidence seems to suggest that the inscriptional form *pocil* is related to Ka. *hosilu* (< \**posil*) and Ta. *vācal*, *vāyil*.
