[lojban] Help with "beak", please.

[Robin Lee Powell <lojban-out@lojban.org>]

I'm kind of stuck on a word for "beak".  I started with "porpi
ctebi", because birds break nuts and stuff with them, but then
realized that a lot of beaked animals use their beaks for non-porpi
things.  From an English definition I saw, I was thinking "jirna
ctebi".  I'd be turning it into a lujvo, of course, but I'd like to
match the part in question as accurately as possible.  "jgalu ctebi"
is also an option, as is "bongu ctebi".  I really don't understand
what beaks are made out of, in general (if there is an "in
general").

Help?

-Robin
