&gt; luSopmeH yIH boghbe&#39;bejpu&#39; torgh. = &quot;Torg was definitely not born for<br>
&gt; tribbles to eat him.&quot;</p>
<p dir="ltr">I have trouble parsing {-meH} with negation. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I initially read that as:<br>
&quot;Torg was (definitely not born) for tribbles to eat him.&quot;</p>

&quot;Torg was definitely not (born for tribbles to eat him).&quot;</p>
<p dir="ltr">I have the same trouble with {Hoch DaSopbe&#39;chugh bath bIHeghbe&#39;} so I apparently have trouble understanding {-be&#39;} when it negates complex sentences.</p>
