The crust could be considered the earth's skin ({skapi} or {pilka}) or shell
({calku}). A tectonic plate is a {plita} or {tapla} of the crust. The term
{kapyplita} is preoccupied by a fish scale, which is a plate attached to a
skin, so that's not the best term. I think it should be {caktapla}; any other
opinions?
