"lakyga'a", being a lujvo, means whatever we define it to mean. If we
define it as "stick of wax", it means that; if we define it as
"candle", it means that. Still, the most important feature of a candle
is that it produces light; its other important features are that its
fuel is wax and its mechanism of producing light is burning. It's
perhaps wisest to use "lakygu'i" to mean "x1 is candlelight
illuminating x2 from candle x3".
