An example sentence is, "I lay down face down on the bed." (as op= posed to "I lay down face up on the bed.")

{mi pinvre lo c= kana fa'a ri} seems to be an incorrect translation, since {fa'a} re= fers to the direction of the event, not the orientation of the person.

Would {mi noi farna lo ckana ku pinvre ri} be better?
