If it weren't Kindergarten, I'd probably prefer {DuSaQDaq HaDchoH}. I really want to know
whether {jeS} takes an object. Is it {qep vIjeS} or {qepDaq jIjeS}? I've used the former
method, and given recent discoveries about {chegh} and verbs of motion, I'm more inclined
to expect it to take an object.
