Bah, duh.  Sorry.  I should've put "le" or "lo'e" in
there.  I wouldn't've used "be", but I can understand
that (I think).

The magic of that statement is still just beyond me. 
I would start by wondering what the x2 and x3 of cmana
were.  "I'm a mountain with caves...wha--?"  I guess a
cu before zbasu would help.

Thanks.  And I guess it would mean the same if you
used "dig" instead of "make".  I guess it is a
question of mindset and culture.  How many people
expect caves to be dug, to be made, to be blasted, to
be honed?  For now though, I doubt this is terribly
important.
