tip or corner Explanation: This is typically something you can fold over or tuck in. Thisis what Vinterberg & Bodelsen suggest: snip en -per corner (fx a corner of her handkerchief); end (fx of a scarf); point (fx he pulled down the points of his waistcoat); (fx på konvolut) flap; (lap på skosål) patch; ... There are lots of examples in paper-folding exercises for making Christmas decorations where you tuck in in a corner or glue down a flap, which is a 'snip' in this sense. I don't know if there is some layer that has to be folded or tucked in on a wind turbine blade, but it would not surprise me. Everything does have to be neatened and smoothed off to reduce air resistance. |
