Using "brife" is obviously more appropriate for "tornado". What i want
to say though is that "punsarlu" cannot exclude "tornado", which is a
spiral thing capable of stretching and shrinking.

{punsarlu}, as a lujvo, can indeed exclude "tornado", depending on how it's defined. {pruni sarlu}, as a tanru, can't exclude "tornado", I suppose.
