<p>This one has a type 5'd noun after a time element. One
could conceivably argue that <b>DaHjaj SuvwI''e'</b> is
meant to be a noun-noun construction, <i>today's warrior,</i>
but I doubt this. Of course, there's no OVS in this
sentence.</p>

<div>
<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"
class="gmail_default"><b>-'e'</b> is sort of an unusual type 5
prefix, since not all words with it necessarily go before the
OVS part. It can be applied to subjects and objects which
would have their usual place in the sentence. In this case, I
think <b>SuvwI''e'</b> is more like an object than a distinct
syntactic phrase. (I know, <b>jIH</b> isn't really a verb so
<b>SuvwI''e'</b> isn't really an object, but in terms of where
the nouns go, the pronoun-as-copula arrangement is very
similar to a standard OVS arrangement.) So this would be more
of a "time stamps precede the object" arrangement, which we
already knew.</div>

<p>Agreed. This sentence was just the first one I found on my first
search, which was for the word <b>DaHjaj.</b> It's not a strong
piece of evidence.<br>
</p>
<p>The sentence itself is notable for other reasons. It's got <b>-'e'</b>
on a noun <i>before</i> the pronoun. I think the purpose of the
suffix is emphasis: <i>Today I am a WARRIOR (as opposed to
whatever I was before).</i> I think this is the only time a
pronoun-as-to-be sentence has an <b>-'e'</b> suffix on the noun
before the pronoun.<br>
