rst. Whether it's okay to use two {-'e'} suffixes in one senten=
ce is a fine question to ask when you're musing about the possibilities=
of grammar. But I'm having trouble seeing how it's an outright obs=
tacle to translation, since most {X'e' 'oH Y'e'} senten=
ces could be rephrased to not need two {-'e'} suffixes at all. When=
you ask "Is such-and-such a construction acceptable?", also ask =
"Does it need to be?" Often you won't need some elaborate or =
unattested construction to finish a translation.<br></div><div class=3D"gma=
