The {jISoprupchoHlaHbej} (= - PP:I/- V:eat VS2:[ready|prepared]_of_beings
VS3:change VS5:be_able VS6:undoubtedly) example that HolQeD #7/2 p5 quotes as
ambiguous, seems to me to be the result of another case of Marc Okrand trying
too hard to shoehorn the world of all possible meanings into rigid classes. It
would have been easier if more of the verb suffixes had been classed as
rovers.
