Thank you SuStel and voragh for taking the time to explain this.

While I was writing the initial post, I remembered that we had discussed in
the past that the {QamvIS Hegh..} was a special case, but my confusion came
from the fact, that I was under the impression, that its' being "a special
case" was in reference only to the the {QamvIS} and the {torvIS} lacking a
{-taH}.

Anyway, good to know that its' being a special case refers to the placement
of the second {-vIS} clause as well.

Satlho'.
