Aaaarrrrgh! Please don't use that form! I hear <ta'be'> and I think "not
accomplish." What is wrong with using <be'ta'>? We have equal TKD examples of
the <be'> going before or after the other noun. Please re-think that useage,
especially in light of the "to be, or not to be" cannon.

Whoa. I know it's been a while since I read Hamlet. But I thought Hamlet was
Gertrude's son. I thought Hammy's dad had a different name.
