Dictionary Definition: 

[translation-eng] {Hopkins} pillar and pot, pillar-and-pot

[comments] Comment: Although pillar-and-pot exists, there is nothing that is both a pillar and a pot; hence, pillar-and-pot is an object of knowledge the being of which does not occur.

example
  • [bod] ka bum gnyis chos can/ yin pa mi srid pa'i shes bya yin par thal/
  • [eng] It follows that the subject, the duo, a pillar and a pot, is an object of knowledge the being of which does not occur.
