Hello! I want to ask something about a word I came across in level 5 chapter 49. のぞき穴 - peephole
I talked about this word on a mobile Japanese learning community, but someone there who's a more advanced learner than me told me that they had never seen that word. Instead they gave 節穴 or 覗き窓 as alternatives for the word "peep-hole". Jisho also doesn't contain のぞき穴 so now I'm confused.
Is it a mistake? Is it just uncommon? (and if it is, shouldn't it be replaced by a more common synonym?) Or was the person I asked wrong?
Thanks in advance for answering ^_^
