My intention, if not contradicted by the Book, was


                  The dog barks, while moving to the left from (at/near/the
                  direction of) the tree.
                  le nu le gerku cu cmoni cu klama le zunle
[fe] le zunle [be le tricu]
                   [fi] le tricu

with the following useful application


                le gerku cu cmoni mo'iru'u le tricu
                The dog barks while running around the tree
                le gerku cu cmoni mo'ifa'a le tricu
                The dog barks while running toward the tree.

etc.  The tagged sumti in effect becomes a secondary space-time reference
(secondary, because the primary space-time reference will determine  what
direction "to the left from the tree"is.
