GENERAL: "is a quantity of/contains/is made of" #24

Open solpahi opened 7 years ago

solpahi commented 7 years ago

"is a quantity of/contains/is made of" is a very common phrase in the original gimste. Apart from the fact that it creates clutter, the question is what it really means. What satisfied djacu1? The ocean, a water molecule, tea, animals?

What should this phrase be replaced with?

Is there a problem with reducing it to "x1 is water", or (in the case of e.g. {bakri}) with "x1 is chalk from source x2 in form x3." ?

'x1 is the material' is OK to me.
