English term or phrase: dolos
A dolos (plural dolosse- approximate translation "knuckle bones"; approximate pronunciation "dohl-awe-sah) is a concrete block in a complex geometric shape weighing up to 20 tons, used in great numbers to protect harbour walls from the erosive force of ocean waves. They were developed in East London, a port city in South Africa, in 1963.

neutral  Jitka Komarkova (Mgr.): proč používat nezaužívané cizí slovo, máme-li vlastní český výraz?// proto jsem nabídla konkrétnější variantu v expl., podíváme-li se na internet na výskyt, "dolos" se prakticky v ČJ nepoužívá, ale zadáte-li můj návrh, zobrazí se přesně to, o čem hovoříme

  -> Nemáme české slovo, využití dolos jako vlnolamu není jediné
