Then you have to ask yourself this - does "the horse-cart" mean the same
thing as "noun animal vehicle"? Could "obojo" mean a dogsled, for instance?
It could, since that is a vehicle pulled by an animal.
In Tongchola, if you just wanted to say the equivalent of "obojo", you could
say "taleo", which is just as short.
How would you say "the horse-cart" in Ygyde so that it was distinct from
other types of "obojo"?
