Also, while we don't have any canon examples from the 23rd or 24th century,
at least in Shex'pir's time, {rIntaH} followed the verb and came before the
subject:
{'ej, pIvmo', wovqu'taHvIS wuqbogh qab, 'oH ropmoH rIntaH Sotbogh qech ghom
Hurgh.}

In the inferior Federation Standard forgery, the line reads thus:
"And thus the native hue of resolution / Is sicklied o'er with the pale
cast of thought."
