ĉefŝipo

Given the etymology, one would expect it to mean something like "main ship, flagship, commanding ship", but that also seems sparsely attested. From Google Books:

1. • 2015, Frans Sammut (tr. by Carmel Mallia), La Malta Revo (romantraduko en Esperanto), Mondial (→ISBN), page 202

     Kiam mi suriris la ĉefŝipon, la akompanantaj maristoj haltis ...

     As I went aboard the main ship, the accompanying sailors halted ...

The definition given is definitely wrong. It would be, like you said, main ship, flagship, commanding ship; my first thought was mothership, etc.. Finsternish (talk) 08:32, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

I agree, the original definition is clearly wrong. I've added a second definition with two quotes where the word refers to a ship, but I can't find a third one. —Granger (talk · contribs) 11:20, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Methinks the second sense is now cited. @Gamren, פֿינצטערניש, Mx. Granger ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 11:14, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. RFV failed for the original sense.__Gamren (talk) 19:24, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
