Usage Note
Huso has two main uses: a spindle for spinning thread, and a huso horario (time zone), which is its most common modern use. Be careful not to confuse it with uso (use/custom), which sounds identical. The two are written differently and etymologically unrelated.
Examples
"España tiene un huso horario diferente al de Portugal."
Natural Translation
Spain has a different time zone from Portugal.
