Huh. I had completely forgotten that was a distinct lexeme.

Well, no, he didn't kill them all. Just most of them. I still need to reread that bit and see how it flows.

As in, "take a sip of cement so you can harden the **** up!"

Dammit. I meant "cannot go" here.

taH:
> and to cities you cannot enter". I might repeat the {QInmey tIlI'} bit to clarify.

Qov:

Yep, that's it. Basically, since there's no other noun associated with the relative clauses, yoSmey and vengmey have to be the heads, and have to be direct objects within the relative clause, but can be given -Daq by the main clause.
