Sorry. I should've put "le" or "lo'e" in there. I wouldn't've used "be", but I can understand that (I think). > {mi cmana kevna zbasu} The magic of that statement is still just beyond me. I would start by wondering what the x2 and x3 of cmana were. "I'm a mountain with caves...wha--?" I guess a cu before zbasu would help. > {ma'arkevzba} Thanks. And I guess it would mean the same if you used "dig" instead of "make". I guess it is a question of mindset and culture. How many people expect caves to be dug, to be made, to be blasted, to be honed? For now though, I doubt this is terribly important.
