At qepHom 2014, the {yobta' yupma'} was given for "harvest festival". A phrase which has something to do with some novel, but that's not important. Can someone use the {yobta'} on its own for "a/the harvest", or does it have to be used as a set phrase {yobta' yupma'} ? ~ m. qunen'oS I find set phrases disturbing

I think it's like someone saying in English that it's the "they-have-harvested festival." Think of *yobta'* as a name. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
ok, thanks. And I was wondering for quite some time now, why I don't see anywhere the {yobta'} used on its own. ~ m. qunen'oS
You don’t always need a noun if you know the verb. E.g. ray’ tIr wIyobta’DI’ reH malop. We always celebrate after the rice harvest. yobtaHvIS vabDot QaH vengHom puqpu’. Even the village children help in the harvest. __ Voragh From: mayqel qunen'oS And I was wondering for quite some time now, why I don't see anywhere the {yobta'} used on its own.
