Good to know. Thanks for clarifying this. In fact, this has been one of the things I was having difficulty understanding with regards to {-na'}.

I wondered about this too, but I told myself "Don't argue with me soldier ! Use {teH}, use it now ! Use it like there's no tomorrow !"

However, I *do* wonder.. If {teH} indeed cannot be used to express "genuineness", what word/words could we use to express the opposite of {ngeb} ?
