Re: [lojban] Yacht



Sorry, that was an anglicism on my part. I was thinking of the sense of great that is synonymous with large. Don't ask me why.

As mentioned previously on this thread, size isn't the determining factor for whether a boat is a yacht, and there are many ships (ex.: cruise ships, cargo ships, tankers, aircraft carriers) that are big and are /not/ yachts.

I seriously suggest ke / -kem-. In fact, I thought about raising the point earlier, when I saw {za'i surla kei barda bloti} which is a "(relaxingly big) boat".
Anyway, I have a more constructive suggestion for "private": what about {tolgubni} ?

gubni = x1 is public/jointly owned/accessible to x2.
tolgubni = pei x1 is private, owned/accesible only to x2.

pukypreposblo = pluka ke prenu ponse bloti

The objection I have about this is that a yacht is not necessarily
private in terms of possession, but it's private in terms of usage. A
cruise ship holds many passengers which are brought together by a
cruise ship agency, and many of those passengers most likely don't
know each other. A yacht may be owned by a yacht charter business, and
many are; but it's mostly chartered by families or group of friends,
or maybe even by coworkers; so it's more likely privately *used*.

And yes, that's my uncertainty about sivni; it has "private" on its
definition, but it seemed to be more about confidentiality althought I
was not sure.
