I'd call those _tinnar_. [Double-blind test on two native Fennoswedes]: Yep.
The same's true for most fork-shaped objects (högrepar, räfsor). Combs have
teeth tho'.
"Tinnar" have the same "sharp projection" meaning as in English. "Sagrada
Familia har många torn och tinnar" - Sagrada Familia's got lots of towers
and tinds.
