It also doen't look anything like correct this way. {tu'} is a
transitive verb. It means "discover". It does not mean "be
discovered". The subject is the one doing the finding. The
object is the thing being found. You also seem a bit vague on
the difference between {-be'} and {-Ha'}. I'll assume you've
seen the other post on that and I'll avoid repeating myself.
Nice try, though, misguided as it was. butlh Daghajba'.
