Incidentally, I happened to be talking about tents with a friend
yesterday, and discovered an interesting difference in perspective.
When inside a tent, he sees himself as being indoors (albeit in a flimsy
building), whereas I see myself as being outdoors (albeit sheltered).
In Lojbanic terms, I think he sees a tent primarily as bukydu'u, whereas
I see it primarily as bukmra.
