Of course, the prefix has to accomodate its object, so it surely is {romuluSnganpu'e' DaH tIHIv}.
Thanks for taking the time to reply!
lieven:
{qagh vIvut. nom yISop.} SuStel: The object of Sop in that sentence is 'oH. It has been elided as allowed. It looks like the yI- is agreeing with the qagh, but really it's agreeing with the pronoun whose antecedent is qagh.
I hadn't realized that! So in the {romuluSnganpu'e' DaH tIHIv} the object of {tIHIv} isn't the {romuluSnganpu'}, but rather an elided {chaH}.
Nonono. In Lieven's example two sentences, the object of the second sentence is an elided *'oH.* In *romuluSnganpu''e' DaH tIHIv,* the object of the verb is *romuluSnganpu''e'.* It's just been moved to the front of the sentence for emphasis. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
