If I wish to translate "(Subject) causes (object) to (verb) (other

(subject)", so my above sentence would be "HoD 'avwI' qIpmoH yaS" (In
TKD it says if there are other nouns in a sentence they go before the
direct object.) >>
How do I know that this does not mean "The officer caused the captain's guard
to hit.....?"
