[jbovlaste] Re: stuffed animal

hmmmm, according to jbovlaste:

Word: tinsa [jbovlaste]
        Type: gismu
  Gloss Word: stiff
  Definition: x1 is stiff/rigid/inflexible/resistant in direction x2 against
       force x3 under conditions 

I don't know about you guys, but when I think of my "teddy bear" from when I was a kid, the last thing that I think of is "stiff/rigid/inflexible/resistant".  I think things like "soft/squishy/plushy".

I guess I understand why technically a "stuffed animal" would be stiff.  Maybe I'm not looking for "stuffed animal" but "plushy".

 No. seltisna is what something is stuffed with, the stuffing.
