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. >>
Your reader is consistently losing spaces. Do'Ha'.
And, the verb in the first line for which {'e'} is the object is {ra'} with
the pronominal prefix {qa-}.
Yes, the purpose of this message was to use the contrived {'arDIch}.
