I noticed before that you had mis-used the prefix {Du-} in one your KLBC
messages, and I assumed it was just a typo. However, since I don't want you
to mis-learn it, I'll comment here:
In this case, you want to say {DalaD'a'} instead of {DulaD'a'}. The prefix
{Da-} is "you - it", and the prefix  {Du-} is "it - you".
So {DalaD'a'} means "Did you read it?"
and {DulaD'a'} means "Did it read you?"
