<p>Not in that sentence. <b>ghorgh</b> is not an adverbial, so I
can't invoke the rule in TKD Addendum 6.7 allowing objects with <b>-'e'</b>
to move to the front.</p>
<p>As I said, I was playing a little loose with the positioning
rules. We don't ACTUALLY know whether <b>ghorgh</b> has any rules
regarding its placement, so I took the liberty of putting the
topic noun phrase before the <b>ghorgh.</b> If that's not
allowed, then my sentence won't work. It might be the case that <b>ghorgh</b>
follows the rules about putting time expressions before everything
else.<br>

<p>If my sentence is valid, then so is this one.<br>
