another example of another -se and another core argument

lesson 4:

another example for the neccessity of a modality-argument:

    I want my dogs to drink.
Ki ponko fa boca lizaypwe foy.

as written above, the latenkwa-sentence means
"i want that my dogs drank." = "my dogs drank." + "i wanted that".

but we need:
"in my will my dogs should drink." =

will:
	patient: I
	focus: my dogs
	modality-argument: drink (patient same as focus of main verb)

= "I want my dogs to drink"
