Notes

Do not confuse manikin (a model of the body used for teaching) and mannequin (a model used to display clothes), although the two words are often used for each other.

Manikin (शिक्षण के लिए शरीर का मॉडल) और mannequin (कपड़े दिखाने वाला पुतला) को लेकर भ्रम न करें, हालाँकि दोनों शब्द अक्सर एक-दूसरे की जगह प्रयोग होते हैं।
