Using <-vaD> in a sentence which has an object isn't what I'm questioning.
Both of those examples are quite clear and, in the past, I've tried to
limit my usage of <-vaD> to those kind of sentences. But since we have
canon <Qu'vaD lI' De'vam> which I hadn't noticed I've had to expand my
usage some.
