<p dir="ltr">At another thread the {vaj} was discussed, and in particular its nature as an adverb. an adverb which describes the verb as anĀ effect/result of another (previous) action/situation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">example:<br>
{pa' 'el 'avwI' vaj jISuvrupchoH}<br>
the guard entered the room, so I became ready to fight.</p>
<p dir="ltr">so far so good..</p>
<p dir="ltr">I realized however that everything we can describe by the {vaj} can be described by the {-mo'}.</p>
<p dir="ltr">{pa' 'elmo' 'avwI', jISuvrupchoH}<br>
because the guard entered the room, I became ready to fight.</p>
<p dir="ltr">again here we have the "my becoming ready to fight" being the result of the guard entering the room.</p>
<p dir="ltr">and perhaps one could go further to say that the meaning conveyed by the {vaj} is conveyed through various other means:</p>
<p dir="ltr">{pa' 'elDI' 'avwI', jISuvrupchoH}<br>
{pa' 'el 'avwI', ghIq jISuvrupchoH}<br>
{pa' 'el 'avwI', ngugh jISuvrupchoH}</p>
<p dir="ltr">the only difference between the {vaj}/{mo'} method, and the last three is perhaps that the {vaj}/{mo'} are more direct, while the rest only imply/indirectly mean that the guard's entrance to the room was the reason of my "becoming ready to fight".</p>
<p dir="ltr">so, that's my understanding of {vaj}. are my conclusions/observations correct ?</p>
