⚠️ The trap
Cenere (ash) and English 'censer' (incense burner) share a partial sound but are unrelated. The Italian for a censer is 'turibolo'. 'Le Ceneri' also refers to Ash Wednesday in the Catholic calendar.
To say "a container for burning incense" in Italian:
turibolo, incensiere (censer)
"cenere" in English means:
ash, ashes
Example
"Le ceneri del vulcano coprirono la città."
"The volcanic ash covered the city."
