The {ram} "night", used in the following way is a timestamp:

{ram, leghchuq maH vIghro' je}
at night, we and the cat will see each other

Is the {qaStaHvIS ram} a timestamp too ? And the reason I am asking, is
with regards to its placement in a sentence, which also happens to have a
noun with a type-5 suffix. For example:

{juHDaq, qaStaHvIS ram, maHaD maH vIghro' je}
at home, during the night, we and the cat will be studying

{qaStaHvIS ram, juHDaq, maHaD maH vIghro' je}
during the night, at home, we and the cat will be studying

The way I understand it, there is no rule as to what needs to come first; a
timestamp, or a noun with a type-5 suffix.

So, if the {qaStaHvIS ram} is a timestamp, then both of the above sentences
must be correct.

But the question is, whether the {qaStaHvIS ram} is indeed a timestamp,
because if it isn't, then it necessarily needs to follow the {juHDaq}.
