[tlhIngan Hol] jeS

[Lieven]

peqIm,

in preparation of his trip to the qepHom, Maltz has slipped some 
interesting details about the use of the verb {jeS}:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The verb {jeS} ("participate") does not take an object.  It generally is 
in a phrase following a phrase saying what the subject of {jeS} is 
participating in.  All of the following can be translated as "I 
participate in the qepHom," though the literal meaning of each is distinct:

qaStaHvIS qepHom jIjeS	["While the qepHom is happening, I participate"]
qaS qepHom ’ej jIjeS	["The qepHom is happening, and I participate"]
qaS qepHom vaj jIjeS	["The qepHom is happening, so I participate"]
