Any of the pairs galcalku/dizycalku, gapcalku/nitcalku, rixycalku/befcalku 
would make sense (the second in each being "plastron"), though the last 
doesn't sound quite right to me as "betfu" contrasts with "cutne". All of 
them have a third argument "of material x3".

They could also be used for sternites and tergites (ventral and dorsal 
sections of arthropod shells). Probably the carapace (all the tergites of a 
whole tagma fused together) should be distinguished from individual tergites.
