Hmm... ?Soj bo'DIj = food court?!
I've always understood {bo'DIj} to be a court of law, not a type of
courtyard. Note that {ghIpDIj} means "court martial". Try {Soj vaS}
"(assembly) hall of food".
As for "mall", you could call it a {vaS'a'} "great (assembly) hall" - which
contains specialized {vaSmey}: i.e. one for food {Soj vaS}, one for
clothing {Sut vaS}, one for weapons (nuH vaS} (well, maybe on Kronos <g>),
etc. - or, perhaps, a {vaS tIq} "long hall" depending on the layout of the
place.
