My question was a bit vague. Sorry for that. I was asking
should one says
{DaQaH 'e' tlhob} "they ask that you help them"
or is it
{DaQaH tlhob} "they ask you to help them"
or both are correct? TKD says for verbs of saying {'e'} is not
used, but only gives an example for {ja'}. I think there are {jatlh},
{tlhob} and {ghel} that counts as "verb of saying", though using
this construct with {ghel} seems very weird.
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.> [TKD p.67]
