A better translation of four elements

In English translation, the four elements are translated as 1. Earth 2. Fire 3. Air 4. Water Instead, if they are translated as below 1. solidity - the state of being solid with hardness and softness. 2. Heat - the state of getting heat with hot and cold both identified as heat. 3. Force - the state of pushing and pulling, or state of supporting and pushing 4. Liquidity - the state of coagulating and flow or dripping I am not a language expert but after studying four elements in Buddha's teachings and tipitaka the latter definitions seems more appropriate than Earth, Fire, Air and Water which have ambiguous meanings or are of less comprehensible. Is it possible that we can have better English translation for Four elements since Earth, Fire, Air and Water seems limited in sense? What could be the better translation to understand the nature, characteristics and two opposite edges of four elements?
