Out of that list, "them" and "have" don't really have Lojban
equivalents, and you should be careful with "think". You
should especially avoid thinking of {ponse} as "have".
Don't use {ponse} in:

I have three sisters.
I have a headache.
I have a book in my hand.
I have something to tell you.
I have brown eyes.
etc, etc, etc.

Think of {ponse} as "own". There is no Lojban word for "have".
