<div class="">That strikes me as peculiar. Since {vIje’} has the
prefix assigning the subject to that verb, I would expect that
for emphasis, if you wanted to add {jIH} it should go after
{vIje’}, as in {vIje’ jIH rIntaH}.</div>

<div class="">Doing it as {vIje’ rIntaH jIH} only makes sense if,
given that written Klingon as we know it is phonetic spelling of
spoken Klingon, somehow {rIntaH} has become a Type 10 suffix,</div>

<p>Or it's just an exceptional rule that says the special word <b>rIntaH</b>
comes after the verb regardless of any subjects or objects.
Similar to how the adverbial <b>neH</b> comes after a verb or
noun as needed instead of coming at the front of a sentence. It's
just exceptional. We don't need to make up hypothetical type 10
suffixes.<br>

<div class=""> so it always follows the verb and its other
suffixes, and any subject would follow it. Otherwise, I see no
justification for {rIntaH jIH}, since as a sentence, it would
have to be {jIrIntaH jIH}. <br>

<p>No, the <b>jIH</b> would be the subject of <b>vIje',</b> with
the word <b>rIntaH</b> simply being inserted after the verb.</p>
<p>We have no problem with <b>qa'vIn De' vIje' neH jIH</b><i> I
merely buy the Genesis data.</i> Why would we have a problem
with <b>qa'vIn De' vIje' rIntaH jIH</b><i> I have bought the
Genesis data</i>?</p>
<p>On the other hand, this is being described in TKD as a special
kind of sentence-as-object construction, so it might make sense
that when Okrand said <i>verb</i> he actually meant <i>sentence,</i>
since all his examples have no explicit subject.<br>
</p>
<p>Again, without data, we can't decide one way or the other.<br>
