Notes on Meaning
- The word "ống phóng" specifically refers to a receptacle for spit. It does not refer to a launching tube, projector, or any other type of "tube" or "pipe", which might be a potential false friend from the individual words "ống" (tube) and "phóng" (to launch/project). Its meaning is fixed as "spittoon".
