I think I use them more or less interchangeably, but one is often more=20
convenient than the other.

With a concrete object, it means that one thing turns into another, as in:

> (7) {lo m=E0pku cu b=ECnxo lo t=E0nbo}

"The cap turned into a board."

It's just *really* useful to be able to say that.

With a property it means "to begin to have a property" or "to undergo  a=20
change towards having a property".

I'm not sure which one I would pick if I had to choose one over the=20
other as the only acceptable binxo2. I think I might lean towards the=20
concrete object version, however. The other one could still be accessed=20
via {kairbi'o} =3D {binxo lo ckaji be lo ka}, while the exremely useful=20
{binxo lo mlatu} would remain correct.
