Next: to build, raise a monument
Poswa:
pepopa "museum, library"
pratša building with statues
paelatša "monument, temple"

Any of these three could work; they all take a /-w-_-p/ to form the causative construction you'd need to use to indicate creation, and this causes stem mutation. Thus for example

Pepopwobi "I built a museum"
Paelatšwobi "I built a temple"
