oyster
cangkerang tiram = oyster shell(s)
scallop shell = kulit kapis/kekapis
scallop = kapis/kekapis
cangkerang = hard outercovering of shellfish, i.e. shell (=> kulit kerang)
kerang = generic term for shellfish [one meaning; another is 'cockle(s)' a type of shellfish]
hence:
- tiram MEMPUNYAI cangkerang
- kapis/kekapis MEMPUNYAI cangkerang
- TETAPI tiram BUKAN kekapis
- semua kerang (shellfish) MEMPUNYAI cangkerang/kulit kerang (shells)
hope the above help unravel the confusion.

oyster
Artinya "oyster shell."
"Oyster" adalah binatang yang menciptakan mutiara. Jika mau mengatakan "scallop,"
istilahnya "remis," menurut Winstedt, Qamus Melayu-Inggris.
