>Your understanding of -be' is correct. As the examples on p46 show:
>choHoHvIpbe' - the -vIp is what's negated.
>choHoHbe'vIp - the HoH is what's negated.
vaj <<-be'>> law' wIlo'laH'a'? jIchup:
choHoHvIpbe' - you are not afraid to kill me
choHoHbe'vIp - you are afraid to not kill me (chaq "You are afraid to leave
me alive" lo'laH'a' vay'?)
DaH chonnaQwIj vIchup: <<choHoHbe'vIpbe'>> ("You are not afraid to leave me
alive") lo'laH'a' vay?
In that case, can we use multiple instances of <<-be'>>? For example, can we
use <<choHoHbe'vIpbe'>> "you are not afraid to leave me alive (viz. not kill
me)"?
