I want to say: "I see only a cat and the chancellor". There are two options:
{vIghro' Qang je neH vIlegh} (vIghro neH Qang neH je vIlegh)
Meaning-wise, perhaps the only difference is that the first means "I see only, a cat and the chancellor", while the second says "I see only a cat and only the chancellor".
Other than that, which of the two would be "bettter" ? is this just a matter of personal preference ?
