Face what? I've seen attempts at saying many things, and many of
those attempts succeed. "He runs to the house" is easily said as
{qachDaq qet}. If the ambiguity of meaning disturbs you, and you
don't want any possibility of someone thinking it means "he runs
in the house," then you can be more explicit: {qet. qach ghoS.}
