I understand
{Devjaj} - "may he lead"
{DevtaHjaj} - "may he be leading", "may he always lead"
Perhabs this was another error MO did, maybe he meant that it doesn't make
sense to say "may you have scared your enemies". And then he forget that it
does make sense to say "may you be <verb>ing"...(??)
another example:
{taHjaj boq} (TKD p. 173)
