I don't think a footnote for {vItna'} is necessary. However, remember that
you cannot use {'e'} with verbs of saying like {ja'}. Your sentence should
have been
vItna' 'oHlaHbe' mu'tlheghvetlh'e' jIja'
or
jIja' vItna' 'oHlaHbe' mu'tlheghvetlh'e'.
Also, I'm curious as to why everyone seems to have forgotten that {vIt} also
means "tell the truth." I've seen several people forget this recently.
jIja' vItlaHbe' mu'tlheghvetlh.

Summary for KLBC: True, brute strength is not enough, but thinking about
paradoxes is hardly useful for the task at hand.
