Consider the text of each chapter of a book. Then the mass
of texts from all chapters are the text of the book, they
collaborate to be the text of the book.

Well, I guess we'll just disagree about that one.

How about a mass of many waters, can it be water?

Sorry, I don't know how else to say it. I write {li 4 sumji li 2 li 2}
and read out /li pa sumji li re li re/. Then I write {A prami mi}
and read out /abu prami mi/.

I don't use the word "ga'e abu". I use the symbol "A" to represent
in writing the word "abu", just as I use the symbol "1" to represent
in writing the word "pa".

I don't want to refer to them (capital letters) at all. I'm just
using them.
