Notes on Meaning
- This term is highly specific and is primarily used in the contexts of traditional Vietnamese medicine (dược) and pet/aviculture care. It is not a word used in everyday conversation outside these fields. The reference to "os de seiche" in the Vietnamese-French dictionary confirms this precise, technical meaning.
