----------------
i'm always at a loss on a good interlinear method for draqa.
here,Particles are in [brackets], paraphrased, while Roots stand outside
of brackets.  sometimes there are different glosses for the same word in
different contexts, but i try to avoid that.  however, there are very few
"words" that can be matched with good correspondence to english.  well,
anyway...
