why not cut out ta' altogether and use voDleH? Then there will be no
confusion with verbs. Although whether be'voDleH, voDleHbe' or some
other construction is preferable remains to be decided by the editors
of Hamlet.

Nope. Hamlet was named after his father, Hamlet (there is a series of
3 plays written I believe earlier this century all dealing with the
life of King Hamlet. I didn't have the money to buy them when I saw
them, so I don't know if they're any good)
