"Zokwendle" is not a german word, butthe spelling is exactly the same as "Sogwendel". Thats not a typical germanword, but can be splittet in "Sog" and "Wendel"

"Sog" is a (air)wave or suction, "the suck" itself

"Wendel" is a Helix or "(single) wound coil", german say"Wendel-Treppe", that a spiral staircase

"Welle" is a sea-wave, sinus-wave or hair-wave

so i think, the meaning of "Sogwendel" is nearly at a"Vortex in a Bottle", see Naudin's images of that at http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine/delany/256/html/vtxbottle.htm

also a Twister is a "Sogwendel"

If you imaginea shock-wave that's produced by a (atom)bomb, a "Sogwelle" is the wavegenerated at an "Implosion", i guess.
