No offense, anyone. I was just remarking on the wording of the original
post. i.e.

"This is the mechanism of a cyber(!)-moucharabieh, a device to stop
the sun's rays from entering a room, with the inner spiral sliding
inside the outer spiral, allowing to change the aperture of the hole."

Does "moucharabieh" truly mean it keeps out the suns rays?
