*C-1 can also be translted as "emptiness" or "nothingness" and perhaps one
of those would have been a better choice in this case. I just wasn't sure
how best to translate it!
** S-A-B-12-3-11 is a compound of S-A-12-3 menaning "to give birth" and B-11
meaning "to think". I guess it would litterally translate as "to give
thought-birth to" but it translates best as "invent" or "create".
