You should especially avoid thinking of {ponse} as "have".

I have three sisters.
I have a headache.
I have a book in my hand.
I have something to tell you.
I have brown eyes.
etc, etc, etc.

Think of {ponse} as "own". There is no Lojban word for "have".

There is {ralte}, a word for "retain", however. That comes with the same provisos.
