Thanks, that helps. So the two terbri are physical objects,
not (eg) measurements.

But it does make me think again of an archimedean screw,
one design for which is a plastic tube wrapped round a
spindle (lo tubnu cu te klupe fo lo jendu?) but is no kind
of fastener.

In fact, if we think of a screw fastener, I don't find the
ve klupe to be a likely or natural tergismu at all.
