Notes on Different Meanings

• The word phoi is almost exclusively a technical/industrial term. It is not used in everyday conversation outside of contexts involving machining, carpentry, drilling, or similar manual/mechanical work.
• It is crucial to distinguish phoi (shavings) from phôi (embryo/blank), as they are separate words with different tones and meanings.
