A toy airplane, a soccer football and a banana are all instances
of {lo botpi be fo noda}, they are all members of {lo'i botpi be
fo no da}. (That is not what we usually mean by "a bottle without
a cap" in English.)

>It actually DOES have a cap,
>potentially (as do most botpi), but there is no cap on it.

If it actually DOES have a cap, then it is a {botpi be fo
ba'e su'o da}.
