艘

湖(みずうみ)の上(うえ)に幾(いく)艘かのボートがあった。

There were some boats on the lake.

数(すう)艘のヨットが、はるか沖合を並んで航行していた。

Several yachts were sailing side by side far out at sea.

これらの人(ひとびと)々が３艘の船(ふね)で彼(かれ)の国へやってきました。

These men had come to his country in three ships.

むろん、舟(ふね)は何百艘も水面を動きまわっているが、どれでもいいというわけにはいかない。

Of course there were several hundred boats moving around on the water but not just any old one would do.
