Na

Aliases

• Na
• nature
• natural environment

Definition

Na is coded for a natural environment, natural phenomenon, or general nature setting that is not better coded as botany or a specific landscape.
The response points to "nature" as a whole rather than to one isolated object.

Conditions

• Use it for the sun, moon, a planet, sky, water, ocean, lake, river, ice, snow, rain, fog, mist, rainbow, storm, tornado, night, or a raindrop.
• The focus has to stay on the natural setting or phenomenon itself.
• If Na appears together with scoring-input/contents/Bt or scoring-input/contents/Ls, code Na only; do not also code Bt or Ls.
• If Na is absent but both Bt and Ls apply, choose only the one that best represents the response.
• If the person describes a cloud, first reconsider scoring-input/contents/Cl; fog and mist are coded Na.

Cautions

• Na takes priority over scoring-input/contents/Bt and scoring-input/contents/Ls; these three codes are not combined in one response.
• Na is not used for a map; that belongs to scoring-input/contents/Ge.
• An isolated botanical detail does not justify Na by itself if the response is not describing general nature.
