Italian term or phrase: aletta
"ad una estremittà lo strumento è provvisto di due minuscole alette che servono al suo collegamento al mandrino."

ndt. Le alette scorrono nelle scanalature interne del mandrino.

Ho chiaro in mente che cosa si intende, ma ho dubbi su quale sia il termine tecnico appropriato.

Grazie
