As a native English-speaking librarian, biblioitems.itemtype makes me crazy. 

I usually say "Bib-level item type" or "Bibliographic-level item type", and
then wish that biblioitems.itemtype will be removed from Koha, since "Bib-level
item type" is a paradox. The concept makes no sense in a library, and I've had
a lot of confused librarians ask me about it over the years.

But... I'm sure that it's not going away any time soon. 

"Record-level item type" doesn't make sense in libraries, but I think it's
probably a good enough technical description.
