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?
