Since what we are beating here is not a >literal >horse, it should be marked with "pe'a". It could be marked, although not just the horse, the beating might also not be literal. I usually don't mark tense when it is unimportant or obvious from context. Similarly, I don't mark metaphor unless it is absolutely required. For those who thought I actually had a dead horse here by my computer... maybe I do. :) co'o mi'e xorxes ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
