spiral, ring, wreath (of smoke)

Examples

“El pobre alfals vermell o groc s'ha enganyat. Els seus admirables torniols no els serveixen de res. Aquests torniols o rosques només podrien funcionar si caiguessin d'una certa alçària, de la copa d'algun arbre gran o d'una gramínia enrevenada: però construïdes arran de l'herba, encara no han donat mig giravolt que ja toquen a terra.”

The poor red or yellow alfalfa has deluded itself. Its admirable spirals are of no use to it. These spirals or screws could only function if they fell from a certain height, from the crown of a tall tree or from a rigid gramineous plant; but put up flush with the grass, they haven't given half a turn before they hit the ground.
