* Most dictionaries with both senses of the word show a difference in pronunciation: jǐliang when it means “back” and jǐliáng when it means “backbone” (And only Wenlin/ABC and CEDICT give the meaning “backbone” for jǐliang). LAC has jǐliáng for “back” as a Taiwanese pronunciation.
* Definition “back” for 脊背 is ambiguous.
* cf. 背部, it may be a good idea to use the same definition on the three words 脊梁 jǐliang, 脊背 and 背部.
