Definitions

Are nightstool and closestool actual English terms (meaning something like a primitive, early version of the toilet)? 24.29.238.60 22:43, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I don't know. I copied the definitions straight out of two separate Chinese-English dictionaries (see references section in entry). I was hoping that someone here would recognize them. -- A-cai 22:58, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Wiktionary had close-stool but not nightstool, night stool, or night-stool. Although Dictionary.com doesn't have an entry for night stool, Wikipedia:Close stool has something about both. 24.29.238.60 20:10, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
