I don't know if I can come up with a new one every day! One that I
recently came up with, though, is that I was thinking about the English
phrase "go off", as in "the alarm went off", and the corresponding
causative form "set off". I figured that this didn't make much sense,
since "off" usually means "inactive", so I decided that Minza would use
"on" in this case.
