is the term howdah limited to a hunting seat? I thought a howdah was the name of the elephant "sadle". and it applied to both the kind with hood (roofs?) and open ones.
Apologies; certainly not limited to hunting seat. My dictionary (POD) gives it as "(Usually canopied) seat for riding on elephant or camel. From Urdu hawda".
