How would you say "Cove Road becomes Montford Cove Road at the county line"?
This seems to want a bare {fe'e} as a tense, but {fe'e binxo} is
ungrammatical.

You can say {fe'e co'a lo korbi}[1] for "spatially begins at the border".

You can also say {binxo bu'u lo korbi} for "becomes ... at the border". A slightly less literal translation would be {la'o gy. Cove Road .gy bu'u lo korbi co'a se cmene zoi gy. Montford Cove Road .gy}.

You could also go the entirely different route of something like {lo pagbu be lo dargu be'o poi ragve lo korbi cu se cmene zoi gy. Montford Cove Road .gy}, which does not need tenses.
