I have been wondering about how to perfectly convey sentences where there seems to be 2 subjects, such as "She made you wait for us" and just came up with an idea that I wanted to discuss with you: using < ... ’e’ qaSmoH >
For instance:juloS ’e’ qaSmoH> Literally: She caused it to happen that you waited for us
Or, for the example from last month (they made the dog enter the cage: DogvaD mo’ lu’elmoH):mo’ ’el dog ’e’ luqaSmoH
When you think about it, in "She made you wait for us", the subject is "she" but the object is not "you", it is the action/event "you wait for us" taken as a whole, thus <... ’e’ qaSmoH > seems a logical way to phrase it.
What do you think ? Has it maybe been discussed already ?
Sure, people have been using 'e' qaSmoH forever. It was
one of the primary ways of getting around the "ditransitive" issue
before we had examples and confirmation. You're reconstructing it
from the other direction.
