Like “sháad” (to come; to go) and “bel” (to bring; to take), the deixis can be confusing in the English translation (even though the ambiguity is a non-issue in the Láadan). Unlike “sháad” and “bel,” the deixis on “eb” is resolved quite readily; if the Object is being transferred to a Goal, then “eb” should be translated “sell.”^[15].
