Thank you for stories which give insight into word-meanings and usages.
Although I can read all of your writing, I am not sure what a few of the
concepts mean. In line one, {HeDbe'}: "A rock does not retreat." What does
this mean in English?
Paragraph two line one: {reH Haw'}: What about {reH ghoch nej}? Of course,
you follow with "underground." Your goal for the water seems to be
stalagmite/stalactite building, not arriving at a river or ocean.
Paragraph three line two: {ba'taHvIS nagh, vangtaH bIQ}: I question {ba'}.
Until you explain to me why your use of {ba'} is better, I recommend
{vIHbe'}, or even the parallel of {vangtaH bIQ}: {vangbe'taHvIS nagh}. Even
if you like {ba' nagh}, how is it preferable to {Qot nagh}?
