The Vietnamese word "ngõng" refers to a specific type of joint or hinge, often described as a "tenon-like axis" or "tenon-like hinge." This term is frequently used in carpentry or construction, particularly in the context of woodworking where joints are essential for joining pieces of wood.
In advanced contexts, "ngõng" can be used metaphorically to describe situations where two parts are connected or joined together, similar to how tenons fit into mortises in woodworking.
There are no direct variants of "ngõng," but it may appear in compound phrases or technical jargon related to carpentry.
While "ngõng" primarily refers to a type of joint in carpentry, it may also have other meanings in specific contexts, such as referring to the connection points in mechanical engineering.
