Another one from the WC/bathroom products catalogue:
"Lavabo percé pour robinet 1 trou + **2 trous amorcés**"
"Plan de toilette céramique autoportant, percé pour robinet 1 trou + **2 trous amorcés**"
It would appear, to me at least, that the 'percé pour robinet 1 trou' part relates to actual holes which have been made in the basin, etc. and that the 'trous amorcés' relate to something else altogether (i.e. not 'actual' holes). I don't, however, know what we would call such 'holes' (or lack thereof) in English.
Can anyone enlighten me?
Many TIA

Comment: "Yes, this does sound more appropriate than the 'indented holes' I'd originally gone for. Many thanks to all!"
