"Embedded sentence"? I would expect that phrase to refer to the
pronoun {'e'} here.
{DaH} is at the *beginning* of its sentence. {jIQongchoH} is one
sentence. {DaH 'e' vIHech} is another. Most people -- Marc Okrand
included -- do not separate sentences with punctuation in a Sentence
As Object construction.
