Well, a building can be a "symbol" (the Coliseum, the Empire State
Building, ...) and a person can become a "symbol" (Gandhi, Martin
Luther King, ...).

I'm pretty sure they can't become a {sinxa} or a {lanci} so I was
hoping that a tanru based on {sinxa} and {sidbo} would have worked.

Maybe I should have used {sibysni} with the following meaning:

{
lu ko'a sibysni ko'e ko'i li'u
du
lu ko'a sinxa le sidbo be ko'e bei ko'i ku ko'i li'u
}

or
x_1 = sin_1 represents/signifies/refers to the idea/concept x2 = sin_2
 to/for x_3 = sid_3 = sin_3

Would it work?

Isn't {rinka} for physical cause? The viceroy stops there ({.y.}) but
the full sentence should be: "your fall will motivate the uprising" I
was leaning towards {mukti}

Thanks,
