独鈷 (hiragana とっこ, rōmaji tokko, historical hiragana とくこ) (alternative reading hiragana どっこ, romaji dokko, historical hiragana どくこ)

1. (Buddhism) Synonym of 金剛杵 (kongōsho, “vajra”) (mace and symbol)
2. a pattern for cloth, consisting of interlocking tokko shapes

Historically, it appears that this word may have also been read as tokuko and toko. However, these alternative readings seem to be rare and possibly obsolete, and modern dictionaries may not include them.
