What the heck is a “dais” and why do you call the stone platform the Stargate sits on that?
Webster’s defines it as “a raised platform (as in a hall or large room)”. I’d heard the word used when referring to the platform that a throne usually sits on top of. When I started doing transcripts, I had some difficulty referring to certain objects, and constantly writing “the low stone platform with steps that the Stargate sits on” would not only irritate me, it would get awfully repetitive. So maybe the term isn’t used entirely correctly, but it’s close.
