You seem to be ignoring the option of saying {qaqIpbe’ta’} and treating that as if it were synonymous with {qaqIpta’be’}. The former definitely means that I accomplished not hitting you. I had a goal of not hitting you and I achieved it
ok, I understand the meaning of {qaqIpbe’ta’} (or at least I think I do..); but my problem is how to say: "I didn't (set out to hit you and subsequently hit you)". I don't want to say "I accomplished not hitting you". Lets approach this differently.. Situation: No hitting has taken place, and all parties involved know this. I don't want to say: "I did not hit you (and I did it deliberately)" I do want to say: "I did not inflict a deliberate hit on you" ~ mayqel qunen'oS
