first, this looked weird to me.
But actually, this is the same as the {neH}-case, with the example of {vIjonta' vIneH} "I wanted to
capture them". I used to think this is only for {neH}, but it's for all {blabla 'e' vlabla}
constructions.
vIjonta' vIneH
this means only one thing: I wanted to capture them
(literally: I want that I have captured them)
Dajonta' 'e' vISov
--> so this can mean two things:
"I know that you have captured them"
"I knew that you capture them"
right?
qar'a'?
Quvar.
