Fun fact, the accent circonflexe, the ^ in “â”, is basically an old silent s in French. So “râpe”, pronounced RAH-Pe, shows the etymology of the word: rasp. Similar with Hôpital, HOE-PEE-TAL: hospital.
Another fun fact, these style graters are also really great for making spaetzel at home.

You didn’t notice the other red text? or the word “fromage”?

Unnecessary context: the â means that it used to be ’raspe’, from which the English word rasp (a type of file) originates.
