''Posidofan'' is Burgoignesc word for a lighthouse, stemming from the Istroyan ''Fanos Posideon'' meaning Poseidon's lamp. Posidofan denoted the difference from its predecessor the ''pila pira'' (Eng. pyre, lit. fire pile) in that is included housing accommodations for a lighthouse keeper. In the 1890s there was an attempt by the Viceimperial Burgoignesc Lighthouse Service to adopt the word ''cabine della pira'' (Eng. Lighthouse), but the traditionalists in the maritime services never used the new word and the last recorded publication of ''cabina della pira'' was on a nautical chart of Wintergen from 1904. | ''Posidofan'' is Burgoignesc word for a lighthouse, stemming from the Istroyan ''Fanos Posideon'' meaning Poseidon's lamp.
