pedestal or plinth

Pedestal was the first word that came to mind, but there is a nice drawing in John Gloag's 'Short dictionary of Furniture' where it is called a pedestal or plinth.

These are somewhat more modern than Gloag's, but 'plinth' is obviously still in use.

The correct word is "podium" (podiet, podier).

podium

Since this is obviously a typo (or flexion error), does it have to be more complicated than using the same (but correct) word in English?
