I didn't know that, thanks !

I knew of using {-vo'} and {-Daq} at the beginning of a sentence, in
order to express the "from ---> to"; but somehow I had the idea that
the two nouns can't be joined by the {je}. If this sentence is correct
(is it ?) I will be happy to assimilate this knowledge.

hmm.. I didn't know that. can't {nargh} "to escape" have an object ?
as in "I escaped hell" ?
