Comment: "I was afraid so :) Unfortunately there's no context at all (this is a quote just listing the different parts used for the project). Your suggestion was very helpful though - at least I know there are no other possibilities now."

miscellaneous materials
A parts list is a context--albeit of a tricky, degenerate sort.

But what do you do when the list also has a sonota (その他)? "Been there. Done that."
