Skybox 26 has a sentence, which among other things it says:

Shouldn't the {reH} precede the {'e'} ?
One would think so. Notice also the *-taH* on a verb that has *'e'* as its object. Given that this is a SkyBox card — fairly early as far as Okrand's extended prose translations go — I think this is just compounded errors rather than some special grammar. When people are learning to use *'e'* and *net,* they tend to think of them as conjunctions, which they aren't. Okrand may have fallen into the same trap. He also occasionally forgets about the taboo of putting type 7 suffixes on SAO second verbs. He made a lot more errors in the early days, but he's gotten a lot more skilled at his own language in recent years. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
