Notes: This is a word I never learned when I was in Germany because I never needed it: All the doors there had Türklinken. And this, in turn, was a term I never knew the English for because I hardly need to talk about them here. But now, thanks to The Economist, I know that the term of the trade is apparently "levered doorhandle". I guess if they ever become more common here, we'll come up with something similar. It seems doorknobs are comparably rare in Catalonia given that the trade-jargoniness is the only unambiguous term I could find. Amusingly, clanche (found in east-central France) is cognate with Klinke.
