<p>The evidence suggests that the enemy launched a full-scale
assault on the home world while were were out here on the
frontier. That means we're at war now.<br>

<p>To use <b>rIntaH</b> is to use a variant of the
sentence-as-object construction. Suffix order is arbitrary and
irrelevant when suffixes are on different words. <b>rIntaH</b> is
not a suffix and should not be thought of as a suffix.<br>
