• When an event over which one has some control ends (one can't cause a month to end), a different verb is used: van. This would apply to such things as voyages, battles, plays, operas, stories, and songs. Here, the event (the voyage, the song) doesn't end; the participant in the event or the perpetrator of the event ends it. For example: leng vanDI' SuvwI'pu' 'IQ chaH At the end of the voyage, the warriors are sad. bom vanDI' SuvwI'pu' tlhutlh chaH At the end of the song, the warriors drink.---Literally, these sentences mean When the warriors end the voyage, they are sad (leng voyage, -DI' when, SuvwI'pu' warriors, 'IQ be sad, chaH they) and When the warriors end the song, they drink (bom song, tlhutlh drink). [HolQeD-12-2 p.8]
