<p dir="ltr">You're definitely right. I re-thought these sentences without the {-taH}, and there is no difference. Thanks for pointing this out !</p>

<p dir="ltr">This is a good idea. I don't know why, but I always forget the verb {qay'}, in favor of the noun {qay'wI'}.</p>

<p>I've noticed you overusing <b>-taH</b> recently. You haven't
technically been wrong in your use, but your meaning is probably
not exactly what you're writing.</p>
<p>Explain to me, for instance, the difference between <b>ben
puSqu' <i>Athens</i> vIDabtaH</b> and <b>ben puSqu' <i>Athens</i>
