Re: [lojban] Yacht

My only objection to the use of sivni is that sivni is private as in private thoughts, but I don't really have a better alternative. "Private property" isn't property kept hidden or in secret, it's merely something owned by an individual (or sometimes a small group of individuals like in the case of family-owned and timeshares). But as I said, I don't have any good alternatives- I don't think pukypreposblo is better.

Okay. So your definitions:
zoi gy.Cruise Ship.gy za'i surla litru kei barda bloti
zo'oi.Yacht. za'i surla kei bloti
I take that you accept that a yacht is not necesarily big.

So then
cruise ship: {zazysurli'ukezbrablo} or {surli'ubrablo}
yacht: {zazysurkezblo} or just {surblo}; and since nobody proved it
wrong (yet), {puksivblo} might also be.

Thoughts?
