Then isn't the bottle by the side of the road a kevna, making this whole discussion of it and whether botpi fo noda is a botpi irrelevant since we can just call it a kevna? You could call it a kevna. Or you could use a mechanism mentioned in the discussion to indicate that it could have a cap and use the word botpi. -- Robert J.
