Notas de uso
- For a physical extremity, punta is common; capo often means an end in a broader sense, especially of roads, tables, or ropes.
- For mountain tops, cima or vetta are more specific; punta can sound more like a pointed peak or promontory.
- In soccer, punta means striker/forward. Don’t confuse it with portiere (goalkeeper) or attaccante, which is broader.
