I mean, what else would you plow? >I am referring to the definition in the gimste: >x1 (agent) digs x2 [material] up/out of x3 [source/hole] with limbs/tool(s) x4 I would *guess* that it is simply "the origin of the dirt" - ie, te bakykakpa would be vague and whether it means the field (which the furrows are dug into) or the furrows would vary according to context. However, since usage decides what lujvo place structures are, the use that is more common will become the standard. Note, however, that "foldi" already covers fields, so "furrow" will be more likely to need to be said with a bakykakpa place.
