• On the other hand, it is also used to describe "a sandstone about 3 feet tall, hollowed out a few inches deep in kitchens, usually placed in a window recess at parapet height, through which the superfluous and impure water is drained."
• Furthermore, this is "the hollowed stone located under the mouth of the waste pipe, which directs the roof water to the sluices or gutters. This sewage device then mostly directed the liquids onto the street. "
