I'm thinking of "x1 is a valve/switch directing/regulating flow of x2 among states x3". I looked up "valve" in vlasisku; it returned "ca'erslanu", which means "piston", but I don't see why "valve" is listed as a meaning. I think a valve could be considered a sort of vorme, but some valves have more than two entries or exits. Pierre -- Don't buy a French car in Holland. It may be a citroen.
