- Knobbed — Equipped or fitted with a handle, an ear, or a structural catching element called a 'nucă' (nut/knob); traditionally refers to an instrument, a scepter, or a household object provided with a spherical protuberance at the end to ease manipulation.
- Bow drill — A traditional rudimentary tool or archaic mechanical device consisting of a small wooden bow with a cord, used to impart a rapid alternating rotational movement to a drill, a manual lathe, or a spindle. In a historical sense, the term describes the essential instrument used by craftsmen, jewelers, or tanners to pierce hard materials or to ignite fire through friction.
- Leather scraper — A regional linguistic variant, archaic form, or alternative graphic spelling for the noun 'azagiu', defining a specialized metal tool with teeth or a serrated blade historically used in tanning, furrier crafts, and traditional leather processing. This rudimentary mechanical instrument served to deeply and delicately clean impurities, flesh remnants, and fat from the back of animal hides, facilitating their structural finishing according to medieval guild standards.
