Wiktionary defines palanquin as:
A covered type of litter for a stretched-out passenger, carried on four poles on the shoulders of four or more bearers, as formerly used (also by colonials) in eastern Asia.
I just wanted something that started with a 'P' and stood for a conveyance of some type.

The crossed out 'J' is because the name of all of the women I have had serious relationships with, started with the letter 'J'.
So, no more 'J".
