(I like this one, but it is long) {kunti botpi} and {botpi be zi'o} both sound good to me. {botpi dacti} means a thing that has something to do with bottles, such as a tag shaped like a bottle, or a bottle rack. {botpi be noda} is confusing; it sounds like "a thing such that there is nothing it is a bottle of". I'd go with {kunti botpi}, with {botpi be zi'o} as an alternate if someone insists "That's not an empty bottle since it's never been filled.", or some such argument. phma ------------------------------------------------------------------------ High long distance bills are HISTORY!
