Re: cukta

[Colin Fine <C.J.Fine@BRADFORD.AC.UK>]

My suggestion on cukta (not deeply thought out)

cukta   x1 is a book/physical volume containing matter/work/text x2 on
                medium x3 (not necessarily bound paper, but a physical object)

All the remaining ideas currently conveyed by cukta come under 'prosa',
'cfika', 'draci', 'pemci', and 'selfi'i', together perhaps with 'vreji', 'datni'
and sometimes 'selpau' or 'so'ormei'.

Book in the abstract: selcku (also lisri, prosa, pemso'omai, lisyso'omei)
Author: finti (be lo selcukta), but usually te cfika, te pemci, te prosa
