punji2 or punji3 being a property?

With the "property as a portable possession" metaphor, punji2 could be a property of punji3.

That's the metaphor we've been talking about for all those gismu where that the gismu list makes the "pedantically"comment.

With the "property as a location" metaphor, used for example in denpa3

done. denpa3 =property of x1

I notice that you have left only properties in most of the possession places, but I think that's wrong. The property-as-possession metaphor should be the secondary meaning, not the main one. The main meaning should be for the concrete possession. And the same should apply to the property-as-location metaphor. "dunda lo plise" is the basic sense, "dunda lo ka ponse lo plise" is a derived abstraction. "denpa fi lo panka" is the basic sense, "denpa fi lo ka zvati lo panka" is a derived abstraction.
