I'm not a native speaker, so I might be wrong. For me, the term
respectively makes only sense when having two concepts/terms in one
sentence.
Cars and bikes have wheels, four respectively two.
Cars and bikes have wheels, four and two, respectively.
It works like the German „bzw.“.
In the above sentence I only see one concept, so for my language
understanding respectively is not correct.
