Usage notes

Both 膝の皿 (hiza no sara) and 膝皿 (hiza sara) are also in use in modern Japanese, with 膝の皿 (hiza no sara) used more frequently of the two. The term Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value) is somewhat more technical, a bit like English patella compared to kneecap.
