<pre wrap="">But what happens if I want to say "..someone wants to give you a

net neHlu'} either.
So, what's the deal ? The only solution I can think of is {SoHvaD
vIghro' nob vay' neH vay'}.

<p><b>SoHvaD vIghro' noblu' neHlu' </b>or<b> </b><b>SoHvaD vIghro'
nob vay' neH vay'</b> are both correct, as are various other
combinations of <b>-lu'</b> and <b>vay'.</b> Also valid is using
the prefix trick for the latter sentence: <b>vIghro' Dunob vay'
neH vay'.</b><br>
</p>
<p>Of course, <b>-lu'</b> means more than <i>someone;</i> it means
<i>an entity I'm not going to specify.</i></p>
<p>One might also question whether the two <b>vay'</b> in the
second sentence are the same <b>vay'.</b> You could clarify this
with something like <b>vIghro' Dunob vay' neH vay'vam.</b></p>
