Minus the bit about sawing vs. hacking vs. clawing vs. scraping vs.
chopping vs. hugging vs. botanically molesting... yeah. x1 of katna is
the thing/object that's doing the actual cutting, so {.i mi jai gau
katna} or {.i mi ka'argau} would be preferable.

Clearly...
> {mi krixa se du'u zoi .gy. Get out of bed! .gy.}? Also wrong, right?
Also wrong. You forgot LE there and there's only one sumti in your se

lo se krixa is a sound, not anything meaningful like text, so it's not
particularly important for now.
Maybe try lausku? "Loud-express"
Sorry for the excess information (I'm sure the point isn't which value
of 'cut' you need, but the time-related conditions) and I hope your
