Notes on Usage

• The word "tô hợp" is not extremely common in everyday modern Vietnamese. The reference from the Vietnamese-French dictionary points to "tô hạp," indicating it may be an older or variant form. In contemporary usage, the function is more commonly described than the specific term is used (e.g., "tô có nắp" meaning "bowl with a lid").
