Translator notes
Render as "axle-supports" for technical register or "cross-beams" for descriptive purposes. In narratives of carriage collapse, this is typically the component that fails when the axle shifts or breaks. If encountered outside a technical vehicle context, consider the possibility of a scribal error, as metaphorical use is rare.
