If this is correct, then why would it be wrong to say {pa', chaHtaH chaH'e'} ? It's a simple substitution: "there, are they".
I'm not saying it's wrong, but I belive it's just redundant as the English "They, they are there." Basically, the form is {[location] [pronoun]+taH} Another example from ST5: {DujHomDaq ghaHtaH} "He is in the shuttle." The pronoun can do the job of the verb: {ghaH} means "s/he is" in this context. There is no need to state or repeat the subject. It's also included already. It's okay to add the subject as a pronoun for emphasis. From TKD: {jIlujpu' jIH'e'} "I was ME who failed" (not someone else) So you might say {pa'Daq ghaHtaH ghaH'e'} to say that "it's him who is in the room, (not they)". I hope you understand what I mean. (I'm sure somebody will jump in and corect my linguistically incorrect wording, but I think the basis of what I say should be understandable) -- Lieven L.
