Do skyeels have wings?

I think that they have flap things, but not wings.

@Ark1002 It's unclear just what kind of wings they have - flying fish fins or dragonfly wings with no bending joints, bird wings with joints but no digits, or pterosaur wings with joints and digits? @Lunamor

I think that they would likely have something akin to flying fish wings, as they would look most like the picture I posted earlier. That one was from the books, so I know that it was an accurate description. Shallan says that they use only pouches under their flap things to fly, if I remember correctly, so what ever the wings/flaps are, they would have no use for flying.

@Lunamor Yeah it does sound like from the books that their wings are generally less for propulsion and more for flight controls.
