assume I want to say:
"soon our ship will be destroyed; because of you I know it".
so I write: {tugh Dujmaj Qaw'lu'. SoHmo' 'e' vISov}. Is this correct ? or the {'e'} instead of referring to the {tugh Dujmaj Qaw'lu'}, will be referring to the {SoHmo'} ?
SoHmo' can mean two different things: because of you, or because you are. But SoHmo' is not a sentence all by itself, and there are no nouns for a copula, so the 'e' can't be referring to it. Therefore the 'e' must be referring to tugh Dujmaj Qaw'lu' and SoHmo' is a cause-phrase attached to the front of the sentence 'e' vISov.
