<p>What's of interest is the sentence <b>wa' Dol bIH qa''e'
porgh'e' je.</b> This demonstrates clearly that when you've got
a "to be" sentence with a topic as well as a noun, the pronoun
agrees with the topic, not the first noun. <b>wa' Dol</b> is
singular; <b>qa''e' porgh'e' je</b> is plural. <b>bIH</b> is
plural. It's not <b>wa' Dol 'oH qa''e' porgh'e' je.</b></p></div></blockquote><div>I am experiencing {nIbpoH}, the feeling I have done this before...</div><div><br></div><div>[Enterprise explodes]</div><div><br></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">[Enterprise explodesqa']</span></div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div dir="ltr">On Thu, 4 Feb 2016 at 19:36, SuStel <<a href="mailto:sustel@trimboli.name">sustel@trimboli.name</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Another interesting tidbit from paq'batlh:<br><br>[pe']<br><br>First, in the {wa' Dol} line, we have the pronoun agreeing with the <br>subject but not the object. {wa' Dol} is an {'oH}; {qa''e' porgh'e' je} <br>are plural.<br><br>Second, we know that a {qa'} is capable of using language, but the <br>combination {qa' porgh je} has gotten the pronoun {bIH}, which indicates <br>no language ability.
