I don't really understand what {be} really is, can you guys explain to me what it's supposed to do in an easily understood way?

be
sumti link to attach sumti (default x2) to a selbri; used in descriptions.

I have completed four trips around the sun.
mi ba'o vo roi mo'u litru lo sruri be lo solri

{lo solri} becomes the x2 of {sruri} by using {be}.
If we did not use {be}, then {lo solri} would be the x3 of {litru}.

sruri
    x1 encircles/encloses/is surrounding x2 in direction(s)/dimension(s)/plane x3.
