thank you ca'non master !

however before I sleep, there is a final question I need to ask, in order
to verify that I accurately understood this matter.

if I want to say "for many years, I have my phone's sound level set at
maximum", then there are two options:

{DIS law', ghoghwIj HablI'vaD wab 'aqroS patlh vIlo'}
or
{qaStaHvIS DIS law', ghoghwIj HablI'vaD wab 'aqroS patlh vIlo'}

if I understand correctly what was said so far, then at this example the
{qaStaHvIS} is unnecessary, right ? we can use it if we want, but it isn't
necessary, right ?
