Doesn't "snout" involve the nose too? If so, then {nazbi} already contains the idea of protrusion, so {nazmo'u} could be "x1 is the snout/nose-mouth of x2". beak: the bill of a bird; esp. the bill of a bird of prey adapted for striking and tearing. bill: the jaws of a bird together with their horny covering. xedja: x1 is a/the jaw [body-part] of x2 So {xedja} by itself could be used for bill/beak if you are talking about a bird. If it's not a bird you're talking about so that you need to specify more the type of xedja, then maybe {ja'urxe'a} or {cakyxe'a} or maybe {cpismixe'a}. mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
