ok, I understand the difference between a time span and a time stamp.

so, applying this distinction in the {qaStaHvIS} discussion, I understand that:

"..when we are using time stamps, the {qaStaHvIS} may or may not be used, depending on the occasion. but when we are using time periods, then the {qaStaHvIS} is absolutely necessary.."

would you agree with the above ?

and something else. since {DIS vorgh} is a time stamp, would you agree with {Soch DIS vorgh jIQuch} for "the previous 7 years I was happy" ?

any two consecutive days is a time span of two days. for example sm, mt, tw, wt, tf, fs.

But which two are the ones you're talking about in the hypothetical *cha' jaj mavum? As a time stamp, you should be able to point out an exact point, just as you could with "Monday."

but I can't understand.. why can't a week, or a year be a time stamp ? why can't we consider the {DIS vorgh} to be a time stamp ?

It IS a time stamp. DIS vorgh is a particular year that I can point to on a calendar. But just DIS is not a time stamp; I can't point to "year" on a calendar. Which year?
