Usage notes
edit- Certain authorities includingUmberto Eco,semiotician and author, insist thattopo does not differentiate between “mouse” and “rat”:
- Aiuto, un topo! ―Help, a mouse/rat!
- Heretopo is ambiguous — it refers to the impression somebody has when a mouse or rat comes along, that is when somebody panics because of seeing the animal.
