A lujvo often doesn't have the same circumscription as its gloss. A farklaji 
is a street of a class that is identified by direction. Runways are such 
streets, but there may be others, just as tenors are somewhat slow 
oscillators (mlisnosli), but so are some radio stations.

Numbers aren't runways. Runways are designated by numbers, which indicate 
directions.

Whether runway 6 or runway 24 is used for landing or taking off depends on the 
wind direction.
