#2043: Boathouses and Houseboats explain
[A chart with three rows and three columns is shown, both with the same heading “car”, “house”, and “boat”. On the top left a text with the word “this” two times embedded in a bubble and an arrow respectively pointing to the row and column heading reads:]
A this that holds this
[Most entries have the common word in black, but crossed out in red with another word below also in red. Two entries remain in green.]
A Car that holds a Car: Tow truck Carcar
A House that holds a Car: Garage Carhouse
A Boat that holds a Car: Car ferry Carboat
A Car that holds a House: Mobile home Housecar
A House that holds a House: Apartment Househouse
A Boat that holds a House: Houseboat (green text)
A Car that holds a Boat: Boat trailer Boatcar
A House that holds a Boat: Boathouse (green text)
A Boat that holds a Boat: Lifeboat Boatboat

I really like the words for “boathouse” and “houseboat” and think we should apply that scheme more consistently.
