We also don’t have great examples of {qeq} being used with a direct object. Maybe {qeq} is fine as a verb with {moQbara’} as the direct object. The English gloss doesn’t fit perfectly, but it’s as close as other words we do know. Certainly people will figure out what you mean.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you want to be hyper-conservative and say something fewer could argue is incorrect, you might say {moQbara’ laHwIj vIleHmeH jIqeq.} That’s pretty precise and explicit. {moQbara’ vIqeq} would be shorter, but it assumes the verb-object relationship that, while probably fine, hasn’t been confirmed.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Of course I’m assuming that {laH} works as a direct object of {leH}, but there is a point at which one must make assumptions to use a language. The gloss works better, at least.</div><br class=""><div class="">
