Of course, if I'm wrong, I'd love to be corrected.
However, I don't think I'm wrong, since there's the adverb {DaH} which perhaps no one would disagree if we used it as..
DaH vabDot bISuvqangbe' even now you are unwilling to fight
So, yep! That's it. Case closed. This answers the problem, (or at least *my* problem).. So off to pdf this thread and add it to my notes.
Not so fast! Who says that *DaH* is modifying *vabDot* in that sentence? I think it's perfectly possible that each adverbial should be considered to modify the entire sentence including all the other adverbials. So in *DaH vabDot bISuvqangbe'* we have: *DaH* modifies *vabDot bISuvqangbe': */Now, you are even willing to fight./ *vabDot* modifies *DaH bISuvqangbe': */It is even the case that you are willing to fight now./ If this is correct, then this sentence is not evidence that adverbials directly modify each other the way you're supposing. Don't jump to conclusions. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
