Aḍḍhayoga refers to: a certain kind of house (usually with pāsāda) Vin.I, 58 = 96, 107, 139, 239, 284; II, 146. Acc. to Vin T. I.174 “a gold coloured Bengal house” (Bdhgh), an interpretation which is not correct: we have to read supaṇṇa vaṅkageha “like a Garuḷa bird’s crooked wing”, i. e. where the roof is bent on one side.

Note: aḍḍhayoga is a Pali compound consisting of the words aḍḍha and yoga.
