True. However, {'IHlaw' mara} "I believe Mara is beautiful" says that
the speaker isn't completely sure of what he's saying. The idea we're
trying to express is supposed to focus on the fact that the *speaker*
finds Mara beautiful, and for that {...'e' vIQub} or {...'e' vIHar} is
a more appropriate way to say it.
