Note that the use of {-lu'} on the second verb of a
Sentence-As-Object construction is HIGHLY controversial. The
pronoun {net} is preferred here. Also, while I believe there is
at least one canon example that places something expected before
a direct object instead after {'e'} as you have placed the
locative, it really makes more sense to place the locative in
front of {'e'}.
I just thought that since you wanted to explain grammatical
rules to me, I should explain a couple to you. {{:)> There are
