@Vaka: umm, certain breeds of cats love water....tiger is one of them. Anyways, who ever said that enki's hate water. I take it as something that each individual can decide for themselves. Cats in general are quite clean. I've played both ways: Emm has been known to lick clean a wound if first aid is not readily available, but she would rather bath in water to clean herself fully.
General statement for everyone else: Also, enki's do not own the Oja road. The purpose of a bridge is to ease the difficulties of getting a caravan across the river instead of worrying about being swept away by high water or sinking in the river bed if the wagon is heavily loaded. Stop thinking of bridges as the ugly concrete structures we have now adays. A very low profile wood bridge can be built that will not ruin the aesthetics of the river, but would increase the safety of merchants importing and exporting goods from the Oja area. There would still be plenty of space to swim, bathe, and fish. It's a bridge not a dam, lol.
