Vessel

Vessel.
It can be a ship, a large boat or similar craft; a hollow container, as a bowl, pitcher, jar, or tank; receptacle. A duct; a narrow tube for containing or circulating a bodily fluid. Abroad, it can be chong cho, vasija, vaso, vaisseau, or οστρακινοζ (ostrakinos).
In literature a vessel can be someone talking about a journey through life.
Philosophically, vessel would be, “How come?”, “What if?”, “Isn’t it?”
For an Italian, vessel might be the same as nothing, but if you say “recipiente”, “vascello” or “nave”, it might make sense.
Vases de terre!
