kablo: cable and its forms

The idea

Kablo means cable. A specific object is kabloyu, with linking y before the accusative. Kablom means my cable. After a number use the singular: iki kablo.

Examples

Do not omit linking y in kabloyu. A cable can carry electricity or data; the sentence gives the context.
