There are only a few things I can fault in this post... the first is the
sheer length of it. I generally ask that KLBC posts be short, but,
considering the circumstances prompting this one, I am not protesting too
loudly. {{:) The second is that you forgot to put one sentence to a
line--you had clear punctuation, and you did restrict how much you put on a
line, so that's okay, too.

This is a very nice, clear use of -meH, and a good re-casting. A note to
beginners: you might see how to "parse" this better if you think of a comma
after the first word).

I'm not sure the -'e' was required here, but it sure didn't hurt anything...
here is a nice relative clause example (antoher good -meH!)

Here is a good example of s sentence-as-object, showing the proper use of
the pronoun <'e'> "that" which people like to confuse with -'e', the noun
suffix topicallizer.

Hm... I'm not sure about this. Would this be better as <qaStaHvIS wa' jar>?
I'm having difficulty understanding this as it is. {{:(

Um...
Unless I am mistaken, you are saying "There is also useful data on this
list", right? When you use <je> to mean "also", it has to go after the *verb*:
jabbI'IDghomDaq De' lI' tu'lu' je
Or did I miss the meaning?

A very nice post... I hope all our beginners took the time to work their way
through this posting! Although it was a bit lengthy, it had many
easy-to-understand sentences, and quite a few of the common words on the list.
