TKD 6.2.5: Similarly, with verbs of saying (<say, tell, ask,> etc.), {'e'}
and
{net} are not used. The two phrases simply follow one another,
in either order.
{qaja'pu' HIqaghQo'}
or {HIqaghQo' qaja'pu'} <I told you not to interrupt me.>
This is literally <I told you, ``Don't interrupt me!''> or <``Don't
interrupt me'' I told you> ({qaja'pu'} <I told you,> {HIqaghQo'} <don't
interrupt me!>). An aspect marker (here, {-pu'} <perfective>) may
always be attached to the verb of saying, regardless of
whether it is the first or second verb.
lugh ghunchu'wI'.
