Oh sure. I'm not saying that an SAO isn't two sentences. It clearly is. I'm saying that it's a sentence composed of sentences. It's both one sentence and two.
Since a verb using a sentence as object creates a new sentence, I think it's very clear that such a SAO-sentence can be the SAO in another sentence.
{targh HoH vav DaneH 'e' vIyaj net Sov.} One knows that I understand you want your father to kill the targ.
[[[[targh HoH vav] DaneH] 'e' vIyaj] net Sov.] [[[[the father kills the targ] you want that] I understand that] one knows it]
But now add an adverbial to each sentence.
That sounds like a true challenge. Theoretically, it should be nested like macros do in software, but that would look very strange: {reH targh HoH vav} "father always kills targ" DaH {reH targh HoH vav} 'e' vISov Now I know that "father always kills targ" I'm not sure that is based on anything canon. -- Lieven L.
