Um, isn't {cfinyvra} at least a bit aurally ambiguous because of
	cfila/cfi x1 is a flaw/fault/defect in x2 causing x3

Anyway consider {kapkavra} (or {vralkapka}?), a digging lever.

As cinze is already a tool, {cinzyvra} would be somewhat redundant.
Did you perhaps intend {nagcinze}, nut type of pliers?

Thanks for the exercise & sorry for the mistakes,
