<p class="MsoNormal">>> I know we can say {'avwI' vInej} for "I search for the guard". Meaning<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No, it wouldn’t. <b>nej</b> is glossed as “look for, seek, search for”.
<i>E.g</i>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b> vInejqa'</b> <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>nej</b> might well be appropriate when looking/searching for buried treasure or a cloaked Romulan warbird, but to “search someone/something (carefully)” (for hidden weapons, drugs, anti-Empire propaganda,
<i>etc.</i>) I would use <b>nuD</b> “examine, look at, inspect”. <i>E.g</i>.<o:p></o:p></p>
