verbs, and I think technically they are a form
of apposition, where two nouns paired refer to
the same thing: {qoH SoH} = "you, a fool". The
only canon I've ever seen pairs the copula pronoun
with a preceding noun. So I don't think you can
say *{jIHvIp}, but you maybe could say {qoH
jIHvIp}, but I'm not sure if that means "I am
afraid that I am a fool" or "I'm afraid to be
a fool." (vs. {mughIj qoHpu'} "Fools scare me.")

BTW, you don't need to quote the entire message
each time, especially if you're not actually
quoting any of its text.
