According to the examples with regards to the use of {chegh}, which
are written at kli mailing list 1999.07.19, then I would write:
{[vaS'a']vo' [tera'Daq DIvI' ra'ghom qach]Daq chegh}

But why couldn't I reverse the order of {-vo'} and {-Daq}, thus
writing: {[tera'Daq DIvI' ra'ghom qachDaq vaS'a']vo' chegh} ?
