But what happens if I want to say "..someone wants to give you a cat.." ? On one hand we can't write {SoHvaD vIghro' noblu' 'e' neHlu'}, and at the same time, we can't write {SoHvaD vIghro' noblu' net neHlu'} either.
So, what's the deal ? The only solution I can think of is {SoHvaD vIghro' nob vay' neH vay'}.
*SoHvaD vIghro' noblu' neHlu' *or***SoHvaD vIghro' nob vay' neH vay'* are both correct, as are various other combinations of *-lu'* and *vay'.* Also valid is using the prefix trick for the latter sentence: *vIghro' Dunob vay' neH vay'.* Of course, *-lu'* means more than /someone;/ it means /an entity I'm not going to specify./ One might also question whether the two *vay'* in the second sentence are the same *vay'.* You could clarify this with something like *vIghro' Dunob vay' neH vay'vam.* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
