The updated version:
I've created a top-level table called "attribute".
Then inherited from attribute I have things like "massive", "fragile",
"flammable", and so on. Each of these has a couple of properties--for
example, "fragile" has a value attached to it specifying how fragile the
object is.
Next stop will be another top level table called "material". This will
have things like "linen". "Linen" inherits from "cuttable" and
"flammable"; it has low toughness (cuttable attribute) and pretty high
flammability.
Then I can have an item "shirt" somewhere in my object tree, which will
inherit from "item", "wearable", and "linen".
This may still end up with way too many tables, though.
