First, lets remember what was written, in the leaflet of qep'a' 2017:<br>
<br>
"Finally... a note about -Qo'. There's apparently been some confusion<br>
about -be' and -Qo' in imperatives. This is no doubt because this was<br>
not explained as clearly as it could have been in the Dictionary.<br>
The rule says -Qo' "is used in imperatives" and that -Qo' is "the<br>
imperative counterpart to -be'." The rule isn't that -be' can't appear<br>
anywhere in an imperative construction; it's that -be' can't be used<br>
to mean "don't!" - use -Qo' for that. In other words, -Qo' is used<br>
(and -be' is not) to indicate a negative command, when the meaning of<br>
the command is "don't do X!" X may contain a -be', but if the command<br>
is to not do X, you still need -Qo' at the end (if you're saying<br>
"don't do X" and not "do not-X")".<br>
<br>
(I copied the above by hand from the leaflet, so double-check with it<br>
for possible errors).</blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">taH:</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">--- tagh ---</div><div dir="auto">{choleghbe'moH} means "you cause me to not see." If you wanted make this a command ("Cause me to not see!"), it would be {HIleghbe'moH}. That's fine. I'm telling you to do something ("cause me to not see") not to not do something. It doesn't violate the rule about using {-Qo'} instead of {-be'} because it's not a negative command. The corresponding negative command would be {HIleghbe'moHQo'} "Don't cause me to not see!" <br><br>When {-Qo'} is used in a non-imperative, it's straightforward: {choleghbe'moHQo'} "you refuse to cause me to not see." <br></div><div dir="auto">--- rIn ---</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">QIjchu' 'e' vIHar.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">-- </div><div dir="auto">De'vID</div><div dir="auto"><br></div></div>
