Or noun phrase. *qama' qIppu'bogh* is a noun phrase that means /prisoner 
whom he hit/ (and various plural and pronoun variations). So you can add 
a *neH *to the end of it. *qama' qIppu'bogh neH* can mean /only the 
prisoner whom he hit./ But the *neH* can also be interpreted as applying 
to just the verb, so it also means /prisoner whom he merely hit./

This can also be interpreted as /only the prisoner whom he hit,/ because 
*qama''e' qIppu'bogh ghaH* is a noun phrase to which you can append *neH.*
