That makes sense ... and is quite economical! In particular, I think
that works very well when one wants to talk about actions.
jIyIt 'e' vImaS. jIqet 'e' vImaSbe'.
Sort of like the canonical:
bISuv 'e' yIwIv bISutlh 'e' yIwIvQo'. {"Choose to fight, not negotiate."}
I'd probably use some other alternative when wanting to say "ghaH
prefers X over Y, but prefers Y over Z.", since otherwise there's a
risk I'd be perceived to be contradicting myself.
X maS; Y maSbe'. Y maS; Z maSbe'.
