The term was historically used in European and Romanian cultural spaces, influenced by Western languages, keeping the Arabic definite article incorporated directly into the lexical structure of the word, but its current usage is strictly historical.

• Pulpit — An archaic or regional phonetic variant of the term 'amvon' (pulpit); an elevated platform or tribune built inside a church from which the priest preaches, reads the Gospel, or recites prayers to the congregation.
