Yes, indeed, due to the indefinite time.

But if you have a defined time stamp, like "yesterday" or "last friday", =

then the difference is clearer:


{wa'Hu' targh vIHoH}
"Yesterday, it was the day on which I was killing the targ"
(and maybe it died the day after?)

{wa'Hu' targh vIHoHpu'}
"On yesterday, I killed the targh yesterday the killing of the targ was =

finished yesterday."
(and it's definitely dead)
