Synonym for tail
Hi
Is there any (decent/suitable) synonym for the word tail?
Most dictionaries contain its definition and not another word for it. It's so easy with tale, however.
Thanks,
Tom
PS: I mean a natural synonym.

Assuming that you are talking about the body part rather than a figurate sense, I do not believe that there is any synonym in everyday use. Body parts often have a technical anatomical word as well as an everyday one; often this is from Latin. In the case of "tail" the Latin-derived anatomical word is "cauda".
