<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">For those unfamiliar with the idiom {‘e’ qa’} “instead of”, it was revealed at qep’a’ 2018:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">(qep'a' 2018): This is expressed idiomatically using the phrase {‘e’ qa’} “it replaces”… Examples:<br>
‘awje’ vItlhutlh; HIq vItlhutlh ‘e’ qa’ <br>
I drink root beer instead of liquor<br>
(literally: “I drink root beer; it replaces that I drink liquor“).<br>
jIQam; jIba’ ‘e’ qa’ <br>
I stand rather than sit or I’ll stand instead of sitting<br>
(literally: “I stand; it replaces that I sit“). In everyday speech, shortcuts are often taken:<br>
‘awje’ vItlhutlh; HIq (‘e’) qa’ <br>
I drink root beer instead of liquor <br>
(literally: “I drink root beer; it replaces liquor“). Or in response to the question {HIq Datlhutlh DaneH’a’?}, one might say simply {‘awje’; HIq (‘e’) qa’} “rootbeer instead of liquor” (literally: “root beer; it replaces liquor”). In the last two examples,
the use of {‘e’} is optional. It’s grammatically not needed, but because of the common use of the {‘e’ qa’} construction, it’s sometimes heard anyway.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
