Long

Long is a term applied to an object that is of the same basic form as some standard object, but longer. The term long typically denotes a pattern (usually the second-smallest) in a family of patterns which are simple linear extensions of a base pattern. Prototypical examples include long snake, long canoe, long boat and long ship.

Not all families of arbitrarily extensible patterns use the term long; some families such as the barber pole family and lightweight spaceship family have alternate terms for extended patterns.

Examples
́
A boat.
A long boat.
A long2 boat.
A long3 boat.

gollark: I'm not sure how you could consider that syntax okay.
gollark: This is why ALL are to utilize zig.

gollark: Actually, \🐝.
gollark: "Done".
