Truth is, peHruS, we've had this discussion before. The last time you
regurgitated an old post to rediscuss, I took the trouble to find the
original thread and post the URL to refresh your memory. I leave that to
you this time. While I don't really mind explaining the same things over and
over again to new beginners, I draw the line at being asked to respond again
to the savage beating you are giving this very dead hobby horse. >>
The previous post dealt only with {juHDaq jIqet}'s being able to mean both "I
run to the house" and "I run at the house." The rest of the discussion
regarding {jeS} and {qIm} are new and are due to a recent posting by SuStel
pointing out that I had used {jeS} transitively and that he feels that is
ungrammatical.
It's the living horse (problem) with which I am concerned.
