Re: [lojban] baby words: diaper cover



I'd say it's probably a stylistic choice, but, given as gacri seems to imply drudi to me, I'd lean towards skapi in this case.

Is it gacri or skapi or is it a stylistic choice?  I believe the
latter.  In fact, they even have the same place structure; I'm not
at all certain what the difference is between the two words, except
that skapi implies sruri.

Are there other words you might use?
