Well, I cannot argue with the validity of this re-casting. However, it
doesn't contribute to whether or not the example I gave is a valid,
understandable, grammatical statement.
The idea here, after all, is the challenge of finding a way to use <pong>
as the only verb in the sentence, if at all possible, as is done in
tera'ngan Hol. {{:)
I would be honoured to hear what you have to say, Guido.
