I just noticed that a meaning of a sentence can change depending on where an adverb is placed. I'm not sure if there is a rule forbidding, or if there are even examples for that. See this: {not bIQong 'e' vISov.} "I know that you never sleep" vs. {bIQong not 'e' vISov.} "I never knew that you sleep." Can I do that? TKD 6.7 (add) says that "the adverbial precedes the object-verb-noun construction". In the above example, {'e'} is the object of the verb {Sov}, so I think it's correct. – Or did I forget something? I somehow feel there is a canon example for this (x not 'e'), but I just can't remember. -- Lieven L.
