Is any language, past or present, known to have a uvular affricate? I
already know that Klingon does, but I'm asking about past and present,
not future  }}};-)\  !

I am doing some research into the preposition 'with', and was
wondering if anyone has any suggestions for verbs which preclude
VP-attachment of 'with'.  e.g. It seems that 'with' cannot be attached
to any case of 'know':
 
* With ease, John knew the woman.
* With Sally, John knew the woman.
* With a telescope, John knew the woman.
 
Does anyone have any counterexamples to this, or examples of other
similar verbs?
 
Please reply directly to

Thanks.
