topography / topology

⚠️ The trap
'Topo' looks like it could relate to 'topography' (same Greek root 'topos' = place), but in Italian 'topo' is simply a mouse or rat. Very different in everyday usage.
To say "topography = physical landscape features; topology = branch of mathematics" in Italian:
topo (mouse/rat); topografia (topography)
"topo" in English means:
mouse (rodent); also: rat in some dialects
Example
"C'è un topo in cucina!"
"There's a mouse in the kitchen!"
