I think there should be a specific word for "crab". Looking at the words in
various languages, I came up with two: "kangre'o" from Spanish, and "sartanu"

Before I get too involved with reading the replies, I'm going to make my suggestion, {xamsi jukni}, differentiating from lobster {clani xamsi jukni}. Are there other ocean-dwelling arachnids besides the lobster and crab? If so, {cukla xamsi jukni} for crab.
