This one is regular. Just slightly odd because {cilre} already
has a "by method" place.

{pruce} has so many event places that it's hard to say
what's related to what by {pu'e}.

Wouldn't the writing of whatever I think be the stages
(or perhaps the only stage) of the process of inventing
stories? If so, this would be an example of {ve pu'e}.

It seems to me that if pu'e tags a pruce, the main bridi
will describe the input, the output or the stages of the
process. Or are the main bridi and the tagged sumti
identified as the same process?
