Eyes and ears, sentence 12

Earwax protects and cleans your ears by itself; doctors say not to push cotton buds inside, as they can push wax deeper or hurt the eardrum, and the packets themselves warn not to put them inside the ear.

Who acts: Earwax, doctors, packets · What happens: protect, clean, say, not push, push, hurt · To what, where: ears, cotton buds, wax, eardrum, packets, ear · Speech: someone speaks here

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R7-rel-agree ×4, R8-pos-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
