Woah! That made no sense at all. "Go me. Days-ago years-ago-woman and."
or "Go me. A years-ago-woman gets up and."
Care to try again? Don't put verb suffixes ({-be'}) on nouns. {HIjaH}
literally means "go me," which doesn't make sense in English, either. (It
*might* be a prefix-shortening trick, where the prefix indicates the
indirect object, but {jIHvaD yIjaH} "go for me" doesn't make much sense,
either.) Conjunctions like {'ej} come between sentences, not at the end of
one. For "also," use {je} at the end of the sentence.
