Yes, It's a simbol of "us being strong", I should have used the abstration

You suggest  {ba ze'a ma} for the other case. I think they should be
the same (I pick {ze'a} for now)

Would you leave the {naku zmadu ...} part? I always asked to myself if
one could answer to a {ma} question with a sumti. Would it be
grammatical?

What about: {ma'a na ba ze'u renvi lo nu gunta} ? {lo clani} seems
strange to me.

Yes. I always forget to check if a sumti place already has the meaning
I want to express with {pe}.

it's {ze'a ma} ...

You mean where it says "Don't do it!" Right?
In my mind I treat {gasnu} as "being the cause" so that {do gasnu lenu
mi klama  le zarci} means "you make me go to the store".
Maybe for the second one I should use {mukti}. The fall of Sutch will
motivate the uprising.

I'll post a new version later today.

Thanks!
