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'} ? qunnoH jan puqloD

*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.* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
maj. and if I wrote: {tugh Dujmaj Qaw'lu'. vIghro'meymo' 'e' vISov} for "soon our ship will be destroyed; because of the cats I know it". would that be correct as well ? qunnoH jan puqloD On Tue, Dec 20, 2016 at 6:39 PM, SuStel <sustel@trimboli.name> wrote:

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.
