None of this makes sense to me. The first line has an {'e'} sitting
there with no verb obviously using it as its object and no nearby noun
that could have lost it as a connected suffix. The second line might
work as two sentences. The third line is just plain weird. I have no
idea what it's supposed to mean, even after interpreting that atrocious
*'arDIch as something like asking for the number of the prisoner whose
corpse you see.
Either there are some typographical errors or missing suffixes or
maybe some abutted sentences that I don't immediately recognize..
What are you trying to say here, and why did you try to say it with
a nonexistent and unnecessary word instead of using the tools that
we do have?
