Gustîla hundirîn elastîk e, loma dikare li gorî mezinahiya tiliya kesê ku wê dixe were sazkirin. Mekanîzmayek bi rê, ku li ser bingeha çerxên trênê ye, dihêle ku gustîl bibe milwanke. Kilîtek hêsan a li binê parçeyê şeklê li cihê xwe digire dema ku gustîl li tiliyê tê xistin. Sêwirandin ji kesê ku wê dixe hilbijartina fonksiyonê û têkiliyek rasterast bi tiştê re dide. Navê Homa di edebiyata farisî de nîşana çûka bextewariyê ye.
