This is plus --, and it is worth studying as a pattern rather than memorising as a word. -- turns a transitive verb into one where the thing happens to the subject with nobody named as the doer, which is how Esperanto sidesteps most of the English passive. krio beats krio for rhythm and is what a good writer will use. The same machinery gives to come into view, i to be felt, to be located. Word order helps too: putting the verb first, as in krio, is idiomatic here.
