Portuguese term or phrase: uma coisa [como um dos objetos do seguro]
"Objeto do Seguro: Designação genérica dada a todo interesse que se quer segurar, seja este uma coisa, um bem, uma pessoa, uma responsabilidade, uma obrigação ou uma garantia."

Like in the my previous Kudoz questions, this is under Definitions Clause of an insurance policy. The literal translation of "uma coisa" doesn't fit in the English translation. How does "a physical item" sound?
