I wonder if this has to do with the game "jenga" and how it was named? It may help some people to remember this verb if they think of that game!

"We are building a lavatory" was not accepted, but it's one of the meanings given for "choo." Is there a distinction?

Actually, wouldnt it be tunaaka choo? I mean, maybe a wooden outhouse, but most toilets would be built with metal or ceramics (Johnson, Standard Swahili/English Dictionary, p. 7) I presume. Im not sure if there's a third word for building, or if jenga really is just a more general word for to build.
