Notes on Usage
- Field-Specific: "Khớp răng" is a specialized technical term. In everyday conversation about bicycles or cars, Vietnamese speakers more commonly use "bánh răng" or "số" (for gear in a transmission).
- Anatomical Reference (Historical/Literary): The reference to "engrenure" in the French dictionary points to an anatomical meaning (the gomphosis joint of a tooth in its socket). This usage is extremely rare in modern Vietnamese and is considered archaic or highly specialized medical terminology. The primary and almost exclusive meaning in contemporary Vietnamese is the mechanical one.
