A literal translation of "propeller" would be {vo'wI'}, I suppose, but that could apply to any propulsor.
For "rotor", "that which spins" would be {DIngwI'}, but in machinery many things rotate -- if {DIng} means "rotate fast" rather than "make fibre into thread".

Which do you want to describe? Screw-type (for water) and "blade"-type
(for air) propellers are very different. Aircraft propellers and
helicopter rotors are essentially spinning wings.
