Just noticed this line in /paq'batlh:/
DaH mararchuq
mayIntaHvIS
wa' Dol bIH qa''e' porgh'e' je
We are now connected,
Spirit and body are one,
Until our time comes.
What's of interest is the sentence *wa' Dol bIH qa''e' porgh'e' je.*
This demonstrates clearly that when you've got a "to be" sentence with a
topic as well as a noun, the pronoun agrees with the topic, not the
first noun. *wa' Dol* is singular; *qa''e' porgh'e' je* is plural. *bIH*
is plural. It's not *wa' Dol 'oH qa''e' porgh'e' je.*
