----peHruS has been wanting a word for "deck, floor, storey"----
I have considered {rav} only for "THE floor", as of this room. I did not like
{patlh} for "storey", either. It seems to apply only to "levels (of society,
rank). I thought we were still missing a word for "deck/level" of the
interior of a spacecraft or building.
OTOH, considering that TKD says in the Introduction that the words it presents
are mainly for language used on the bridge of a warship, you are probably
right. {rav} probably means "floor, deck, storey, level" of a ship more than
it means "floor" of a room in a building on a planet's surface.
Thanks. peHruS
