Well, keep in mind that a fin is meant to stablize (and control) motion
through a fluid (engineering sense, wherein gases are fluids, too -
likti works for that, right?). So a tanru like {likti muvdu stodi cabra}
is what comes to my mind immediately, but it seems to be lacking. muvdu
and cabra are particularly annoying to me.
