I'm new to the list for a second time. I am Brent Kesler- breng, qetlher
puqloD.
I need clarification. I thought that the 3rd-sing.-subject:3rd-sing.-object
pronomial prefix was "0", indicating that it was expressed by the lack of a
prefix. "-" represented that a particular subject:object combination was
expressed through other means. (TKD 4.1.1.) The use of "ghaH" seems, at least
to me, to be of the "-" format.
paq laDtaHvIS, jISop.
That's how I would've translated it. Am I missing something?
