During the qepHom of 2016 we were told.. ---begin quote--- When A and B share something with each other (share some {gagh}, say), the verb to use is {lIn} ("share") and the construction is {C lulIn A B je} (or {C lIn A B je} if C is plural, and, again, with appropriate verb prefixes). In this case, the speaker is noncommittal about whether A or B is the one who decided to do the sharing with the other. ---end quote--- Is this the only way we can use {lIn}? Suppose I write: lIrDajvaD qagh lIn SuvwI' the warrior shares the qagh with his owl Would it be acceptable ? Moving on.. There's something which seems strange with the {bon}. According to matlh: ---begin quote--- When A shares something (C) with B, the verb to use is {bon} ("share with") and the construction is BvaD C {bon} A (with appropriate verb prefixes depending on what A and C are). In this case, C belongs to or is controlled by A and A chooses to share it with B. ---end quote--- The translation of the construction BvaD C {bon} A is rather strange. Example: lIrDajvaD qagh bon SuvwI' the warrior shares with the qagh for his owl I can't understand this. I can understand the {lIrDaj bon SuvwI'} "the warrior shares with his owl" (something unspecified), but the {lIrDajvaD qagh bon SuvwI'} is rather strange. Unless of course it's one of those "because matlh says so" times.. Dana'an I love you maltz
