The place structure is what's supposed to define the gismu. If you want to use the place structure of ckana, I would recommend using a tanru like "stizu ckana" or "jubme ckana". ____ Chris Bogart \ / http://www.quetzal.com Boulder, CO \/ cbogart@quetzal.com "I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru."
