1. (anatomy) intestine
2. inner tube

   Synonym: săm

• For "small intestine" and "large intestine", modern Standard Written Vietnamese (MSWV) prefers the native ruột non and ruột già over tiểu tràng (小腸) and đại tràng (大腸). Sino-Vietnamese items seem more common for manh tràng (盲腸) (over ruột tịt (“caecum”)) and trực tràng (直腸) (over ruột thẳng (“rectum”)). hồi tràng (迴腸, “ileum”) has no "native" equivalent, ruột thừa (“appendix”) has no SV equivalent, tá tràng (“duodenum”) is a self-coined sinicized term.

• lòng; phèo
