Some verbs have both a direct object and an oblique
object when they are used in a simple sentence. The order is
direct object followed by oblique object. But when a clause
in embedded in the direct object NP, this NP is shifted to
the right. One of such verbs is peugah 'to tell, to say.'
Compare the order of the the two objects in the simple
sentence (72) and the order of the objects in (73), where
the direct object NP is a clause.
