On the use of the word 'pool'

[edit]

This wikipedia article refers to there being a pool in the road taken by the Elephants daily, while in reality Bengali language sources were actually talking about a bridge. The word pool written in Bengali may refer to a swimming pool and also bridges, which is were the confusion comes from. However I conclude that the pool in questions was just a wooden bridge, as demonstrated by the use of the word kather (wooden) before the writing of pool in Bengali language sources. 103.112.54.6 (talk) 16:26, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
