There is something which doesn't sit with me so well, in the simultaneous use of -meH with -pu' or -ta'.
Lets say I write:
{vIghro' tIQ vIje'meH, HuchwIj Hoch vI'anmoHpu'}
In order to buy the ancient cat, I went bankrupt.
How would this be any different from writing:
{vIghro' tIQ vIje'ta'meH, HuchwIj Hoch vI'anmoHpu'} ?
First of all, it sounds weird to say {vIje'ta'meH} "in order that I have bought"; but that aside, is there any reason to use a -pu' or -ta' on the -meH part of the sentence, if I'm to use them in the part of the sentence that comes after the -meH ? Isn't the meaning the same in either case ?
*je'meH* isn't just an action, it's a /purpose./ I'm not sure what having a completed purpose means. I know what completing having a purpose means, but that's something different. I wouldn't put perfective here unless I had a very good reason I could articulate. I'm not sure how *'an* /waste /and *'anmoH*/sacrifice/ are related. Shouldn't *Huch vI'an* mean /I waste money?/ And if so, shouldn't *Huch vI'anmoH* mean either /I cause money to waste (something)/ or /I cause (someone unspecified) to waste money?/ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
