sutra-reading desk
A small, low desk used in Buddhist settings for reading sutras. The term is domain-specific and not commonly encountered outside religious contexts.
The monk sat in front of the sutra-reading desk and began to chant the sutra.
Compound of 経 (kyō, 'sutra') and 机 (tsukue, 'desk'), with rendaku voicing of つくえ to づくえ. The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the term is conventionally associated with Buddhist practice.
