One example happened to be that way, but it doesn't follow that
the -jaj or -'a' CAUSED the order of the rover.<br>

<p>Maybe you didn't intend to say that, but it's an obvious
interpretation of what you said. "The difference in the canon
examples is that -be' follows tu' when -jaj or -'a' is appended."
This sounds very much like you're saying that appending <b>-jaj</b>
or <b>-'a'</b> makes the <b>-be'</b> move from the <b>-lu'</b>
to the <b>tu',</b> that you're stating a rule "-be' follows tu'
when -jaj or -'a' is appended" that leads to the canon examples. I
wanted to make it clear that this is <i>not</i> a known rule,
just your observation of what order of suffixes happened in these
examples.<br>
