This one is a genuine seam, so pull it: is to block, -- names the instrument that does a job, and a is therefore the blocking-thing. The suffix is the same one in (a locking-thing, a key) and o (a sewing-thing, a needle). Once you trust --, half the concrete vocabulary of Esperanto stops needing to be memorised.
