I realize that there was a little discussion about this recently, but I'm
still not comfortable with <jItlhutlh 'e' yIDIl>. To me this means "Buy that
I drink." Not buy so that I drink, though. It just doesn't make any sense to
me. When you use 'e' you refer to the whole previous sentence as a phrase or
thought. You can "think it," or "disagree with it," or whatever, but you
can't "buy it." It just doesn't sit right. Anyway, what about <jItlhutlhmeH
yIDIl>?
