-----begin quote -------- You'd use {qaw'} if the object tipped over on its own accord or seemingly on its own accord (even if there is a known cause).
Surely the subject, and not the object. ;-)
(Yes, I know he meant "the thing which is tipping" not "the object of the verb". The subject should obviously be this object.)
Yes, that is ambiguous, indeed. He meant object in the sense of "thing", not the grammatical "object/subject". But still... If I knock over a {loD}, then {loD} is the object of the verb {qaw'moH}. If then this {loD} does {qaw'}, it's indeed the /object/ (of te previous sentence) that has {qaw'}ed. Does that make sense? Anyway, I'll ad a note to the page in the archive and the wiki.
