Re: jIloStaHvIS



Mostly, I was trying to make one of those rare uses of {chen} 
without {-moH}. I still think it works, though I will accept the 
more awkward, longer unnecessary reference to the making of the 
object instead of the forming of it.

Another way to express it would be:

Sor Hap 'oH yoDvam Hap'e'.

I think it conveys the idea more clearly and concisely.

charghwI' 'utlh
