I’m quite surprised that we can place a Sentence As Object between a Main Clause and its dependent clause. I saw nothing in TKD that ever suggested such a thing.
We’ve seen an example, {‘e’ neHbe’ vav’oy}? where the {‘e’} referred to an entire paragraph preceding the statement; something someone else said. So, we’ve seen {‘e’} stretch back to refer to context. I’ve never seen it encapsulate a clause as object to within the boundary of a larger sentence. I really thing that’s a remarkable stretch from anything we’ve seen. I consider that to be remarkable to consider that justified.
{bIQapqu'meH tar DaSop 'e' DatIvnIS} "To really succeed, you must enjoy eating poison" (TKW p.73) The main clause here is {'e' DatIvnIS}. The subordinate clause is {bIQapqu'meH}. The sentence-as-object {tar DaSop} sits between them. -- De'vID
