ok, that makes more sense.  If someone pointed to a pool of bear blood and say {xu ta cribe} I would probably be inclined to reply {na go'i .i ta ciblu}.  I was thinking of "goo" in that context.  I think I'd be confused though if somebody at a picnic asked me if I wanted {lo bakni} instead of {lo cidrxamberge}.  I think once a thing has been transformed enough that it would be better described by a different word... it might make more sense to call it by the other word.  i.e. it's not {lo djacu} it's {lo tanbargu} :)

I think it means ground-up or mashed bear flesh. I've never seen ground bear,
but I have seen ground chicken, and if I saw ground chicken or chicken eggs,
it would make sense to ask "ta jipci ma?", even though it's not a whole
chicken.
