It is a human specific definition.

It is not a boat it is a life ring who is made to be thrown to drowning humans.

Let me say it this way is a humanoid species of minotaurs evolved on some planet they cand have a word like Umlaks and Umlaks are things they put on their hooves. So they can argue
>what is a Umlaks exactly ?

Or how about a water species who made a Landnaks ? What exactly is a Lendnaks ? And then you learn that a Lendnaks is basically a reverse boat for them to be able to go on land.

You notice all these definitions are civilization specific.
We do not have Umlaks or Landnaks because no human build them, and we did not build them because we as a species did not have a need for them.

And the aquatics will not know what a boat is (a reverse Landnaks )
