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? phma -- li fi'u vu'u fi'u fi'u du li pa
