the {-lu'wI'} combination
On the other hand, re-thinking the {-lu'wI'} matter, I started to wonder.. vIghro' legh vay' someone sees the cat vIghro' leghlu' someone unspecified sees the cat leghwI' someone who sees So, why couldn't the {leghlu'wI'} mean "someone unspecified who sees" ? ~ mayqel qunen'oS

*-wI'* turns the verb into a noun that represents the subject of the verb. In *leghlu',* there is explicitly no subject, so there is nothing to turn into a noun. Or to put it another way: what's the difference between /someone who sees/ and /someone unspecified who sees?/ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
