You can substitute pronouns for nouns, and you can elide pronouns

I wasn't aware of that. I thought that the thing elided was decided by context. So, just to see if I understand this correctly:

nIHIvpu' Ha'DIbaH; DaqaDpu'mo', nIHIvpu'. the animals attacked you; because you provoked them they attacked you.

If I understand correctly, the elided subject of {nIHIvpu'} is they/chaH, and *not* {Ha'DIbaHmey}, right?

Technically, yes, but practically, since you can replace any noun with a pronoun and then elide the pronoun, it's the same as eliding the noun. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
