As Holtej, pagh, and marqoS were kind enough to point out for me, the
correct way to say this is {vIchennISmoH}. It can be confusing, because of
the possible English translations, but it really does become clear in
context most of the time. When it isn't clear, it usually doesn't matter
which translation is used. And if absolutely explicit understanding is
desired, you can always recast to multiple sentences.
