My two euro-cents...
In Ultimate Builder set (3800), Lego provides an inventory with names...
might be a source of inspiration ?
- Technic bricks with holes are refered as "Technic bricks"
- smooth bricks as "Beams", angled ones as "Technic angular beams"
- 1/2 height with cross holes are refered as "Technic levers" which imho is
the real term for "liftarms"
I uploaded a scaled down version of this list [(c)Lego] here
