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 long boat. |
 A long2 boat. |
