What canon do we have indicating whether the answer to a negative question
like :
'umbe''a' loDHom?
would be
HIja', 'um.
or
ghobe', 'um.
All I can think of is cheDuQchugh mareghbe''a'? which is of course
rhetorical.
Sorry about the smart quotes. jIHvaD QaHqoq ghaq vay', mail signaturewIj tI'
'e' nIDmo'. I have to redo my mail settings now.
