lets take a non be-verb:

now, lets take a be-verb:
bel = be pleased belwI' = someone who is pleased
Is my translation of the {belwI'} correct ? I am wondering whether the addition of the {-wI'} on be-verbs, functions differently from the way it does on non be-verbs.
Your translation is correct. *-wI'* turns a verb into a noun which is the subject of the verb. Exactly how that translates into English is irrelevant. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
