    + @unnumberedsubsec @kbd{M-n} creates a cloned Info buffer in Emacs
    + 
    + @kindex M-n @r{(Info mode)}
    + @findex clone-buffer
    + @cindex cloning an Info buffer in Emacs
    +   If you are reading Info in Emacs, you can select a new independent
    + Info buffer in another window by typing @kbd{M-n}.  The new buffer is
    + a ``cloned'' version of the old one.

The term "cloned" is not helpful here--it is a distraction.
These commands create a new Info buffer with different contents.
It would be clearer to say that they create a new Info buffer
to show the requested material, and avoid the word "cloned".
