SuStel:
Your original subject line is “Sentence as object using *‘oH*.”
Yes it is, but that's because the original sentence of the thread seemed to me as "a sentence as object using {'oH}"; not because I was trying to bend the rules, so as to create a sao with an {'oH}, instead of {'e'}. Anyway, thanks for answering and clarifying this matter. SuStel, reH choQaHmo' qatlho', 'ej tlho'wIj Daghaj. qunnoq On Aug 22, 2017 5:23 PM, "SuStel" <sustel@trimboli.name> wrote:

Your original sentence, without *‘e’,* is not correct. In the *A pro B’e’ *construction, A and B are nouns or noun phrases, not sentences.
The proposed version with *‘e’ *might be technically correct, but I have a hard time believing Klingons use verb-acting pronouns in sentence-as-object constructions. The final verb in an SAO should generally be something simple and unexceptional.

Why are you twisting in knots trying to use a sentence as
object with a pronoun?
I'm not trying to use a sentence as object with a pronoun. I'm trying however to understand what is right and what is wrong.
The initial sentence of the thread, the {chabHommeylIj Sopta' vIghro'wIj 'oH vIt'e'}, was written by me, and I posted here because I was wondering (and still am), with regards to whether it is a valid/correct sentence.
The second sentence, the {chabHommeylIj Sopta' vIghro'wIj 'e' 'oH vIt'e'}, was written by Antony Appleyard and I asked because I was wondering (and still am), whether it is correct.
I'm not trying to create new rules, or extract new rules from the existing ones, but if I don't ask then I will never learn.

De'vID:
What is the object of {'oH}?
I think it is the sentence which precedes it. I think it is the {chabHommeylIj Sopta' vIghro'wIj}.
Antony Appleyard:
{chabHommeylIj Sopta' vIghro'wIj 'e' 'oH vIt'e'}
Is {chabHommeylIj Sopta' vIghro'wIj 'e' 'oH vIt'e'} correct ?
