Καλησπέρα σας! Συνάντησα σε μετάφραση ποιήματος από ελληνικά προς αγγλικά τη λέξη «νεροτριβή». Πώς θα το αποδίδατε με μία λέξη στο ποίημα; Ευχαριστώ!

Explanation:
Έχουν επιχειρηθεί πολλές μεταφράσεις στο ίντερνετ για τη φυσική ή τεχνική λεκάνη με νερό μέσα στην οποία γίνεται η κατεργασία μάλλινων υφασμάτων για να βελτιωθεί η επιφάνεια και να πυκνώσει η ύφανση — κοινώς ντριστέλα.

water jet
water spinner
water mill
fulling whirlpool
fulling tub

Μονολεκτική απόδοση για ποίηση θα διάλεγα το whirlpool.

Dristela is a natural, ecological "washing machine", where no chemicals or detergents are used to clean the items mentioned above. The water comes from nearby springs and falls from some height with full power and rush, creating a whirlpool. The power of water is so big that sometimes it takes 4 men to drag a blanket out of the whirlpool.
