Usage notes
- Ukrainian has historically distinguished between міноме́т (minomét, “lightweight, often portable artillery piece which transmits recoil to a base plate”) and морти́ра (mortýra, “heavy, large-bore cannon”); in English, both types of weapons are referred to as mortars. The term морти́ра (mortýra) has become increasingly obsolete, mainly denoting siege-artillery of the XVth-XIXth centuries.
