Re: [lojban] What is the x3 of tubnu?

Well, even that wording isn't really so bad at all. I mean -- what is a pipe? It's essentially a "transient container" open on both ends, isn't it?

I think that Bob's definition makes {tubnu} much more useful.
As for a rewording, why not something like:
x1 is a length of tubing/pipe/hollow cylinder [shape/form] of outer material x2, with contents/containing x3.

That is the "container" wording that I was trying to avoid, but I don't really have a problem with it.
