*qama''e' qIppu'bogh ghaH* When you want to use *neH,* you have to attach it to the end of either a noun or a verb. You can use a noun phrase or pronoun instead of a noun. You can't stick the *neH* anywhere you like; it must go immediately after either a noun (or noun phrase or pronoun) or a verb. So what are the nouns (or noun phrases or pronouns) or verbs in this example? *qama''e'*/noun /*qIppu'bogh*/verb /*ghaH*/pronoun /*qama''e' qIppu'bogh ghaH*/noun phrase/ You can put a *neH* immediately after any of these, and it will apply specifically to it. Applied to a noun, noun phrase, or pronoun, it means only that noun, noun phrase, or pronoun. Applied to a verb it means merely that verb. *qama''e' neH* /only the prisoner /*qIppu'bogh neH*/merely hit /*ghaH neH*/only him/her /*qama''e' qIppu'bogh ghaH neH*/only the prisoner whom he/she hit/ // IN THE EXAMPLE WE'RE WORKING WITH, the following is NOT a noun (or noun phrase or pronoun) or verb: *qama''e' qIppu'bogh.* In some other example this would be a perfectly good noun phrase, but in this example it is only a fragment of the actual noun phrase *qama''e' qIppu'bogh ghaH.* So you can't put *neH* after *qama''e' qIppu'bogh* with the intention of it applying to that entire fragment. // -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
