Suppose I write: < Duv > jatlhpu' 'e' DaSov you know that he said "advance" Since there's no rule prohibiting placing a quotation before the {'e'} of a sao (as long as the verb after the {'e'} isn't a verb of speech), seemingly/apparently this sentence would be correct. So, similarly, wouldn't the following be correct too? < HeD > jatlhpu'; < HIv > jatlhpu' 'e' qa' instead of saying "attack" he said "retreat" Of course, one could argue that the {'e'} of the {'e' qa'} isn't the "classic" {'e'} of a sao, but if that's the case, then even better, right? -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ
