(Similar patterns may be seen with many place nouns, such as camp, home, work, and school, but the details vary between them.) Ships were traditionally regarded as ladies, especially by the sailor, and the pronouns her and she are still sometimes used instead of it, though this usage is in decline. ===== Hyponyms ===== Thesaurus:watercraft ===== Derived terms ===== ===== Related terms ===== ===== Descendants ===== → Japanese: シップ (shippu) → Mokilese: jip ===== Translations ===== === Etymology 2 === From Middle English schippen, schipen, from Old English sċipian, from Proto-West Germanic *skipōn, from Proto-Germanic *skipōną, from Proto-Germanic *skipą (“ship”).
