        wondering about how to perfectly convey sentences where there
        seems to be 2 subjects, such as "She made you wait for us" and
        just came up with an idea that I wanted to discuss with you:
        using < ... ’e’ qaSmoH ></div>

      <div class="gmail_default"

        example from last month (they made the dog enter the cage:

        for us" taken as a whole, thus <... ’e’ qaSmoH > seems a
        logical way to phrase it.</div>

    <p>Sure, people have been using <b>'e' qaSmoH</b> forever. It was
      one of the primary ways of getting around the "ditransitive" issue
      before we had examples and confirmation. You're reconstructing it
      from the other direction.<br>
