Interesting. But there was another thing to be noticed. When using an {'e'}
construction, an adverbial comes after {'e'} and before the next verb! I'd
expect to see {reH 'e' lunIDtaH}. Is this just another Skybox mistake, or is
it legitimate? In fact, is there any other example written by Marc Okrand in
which he uses an adverbial with an {'e'} sentence (besides Captain Klaa's
{reH DIvI' Duj vISuv vIneH} in ST:V, which isn't quite the same thing)?
