If we want to say "I am there" we write {pa' jIHtaH}.

But if we want to say "I am not there", what do we write ?

{pa' jIHbe'} or {pa' jIHbe'taH} ?

We've seen enough examples to know that -be' doesn't only negate the single closest preceding element on a verb; it can negate whole verbs and even whole adverb-verb phrases. E.g.: Hoch DaSopbe'chugh batlh bIHeghbe'.

So say this: pa' jIHtaHbe'
