bekkenkammantje

Bekkenkammantje is a term that does not have a widely established or standard definition in Dutch medical or anatomical terminology. It appears in a small set of sources and contexts, but there is no consensus on its meaning in mainstream references.

Etymology and form suggest a compound built from bekken, meaning pelvis or pelvic region, and kam (or kamantje in diminutive form), meaning comb or a small tool. The combination implies a small, comb-like feature associated with the pelvic area, but this interpretation is speculative and not consistently attested in authoritative dictionaries.

Usage and interpretation of bekkenkammantje vary, and there is no single accepted sense. In some dialect or niche texts, it may be used to describe a minor ridge or prominence in the pelvic region, described metaphorically as a “comb-like” feature. In other contexts, the term could be a playful or rhetorical expression whose exact meaning depends on local usage, or it could represent a misspelling or mishearing of another term. Because reliable definitions are lacking, the term is best treated as ambiguous without additional context or sources.
