Usage notes

edit

The suffixes -ujo and -ingo signify different kinds of containers: An -ingo can contain only a single object or part of an object, such as a glavingo (scabbard) (the entire sword isn't inside the holder for example, and it can hold only one sword), plumingo (pen holder), kandelingo (a candlestick), or fingringo (a thimble). An -ujo is a container for multiple objects, generally something which one replenishes or keeps in quantity, and it usually contains things in their entirety, such as a cigarujo (cigar box) or sukerujo (sugar bowl).
