Very good! So does *vungbogh muD* refer to only that section of the 
atmosphere that is hurricaning? When one says *SIS muD,* one is not 
talking about the part of the atmosphere that is raining as a thing 
discrete from the rest. Does only a *SuS'a'* do *vung,* or can an 
ordinary *SuS* vung as well? Can the *SuS* do *SIS*?

Just to remind us all...

Do you think we can say *SuS vung muD*? We can say *pey SIS */it rained 
acid/*,* as per the above.**And if we can, can we also still say *vung SuS*?
