True. I was wondering though about what happens in the case of adverbs which follow object nouns which have been topicalized by the {-'e'}.
And I was wondering because of the following which was said on Discord:

Found one.
lujang maS'e' loQ So'be'bogh QIb lurur They reply, shaped as the crescent moon. (paq'batlh)
Ignore the lujang; that's the verb of speech. maS'e' loQ So'be'bogh QIb lurur means They resemble the moon which shadow slightly doesn't hide.
ghunchu'wI':
That's a very good example. Topicalizing the object maS and placing it before the adverbial loQ avoids/resolves the potential ambiguity of whether or not the adverbial applies to the main verb rur.

The comment of ghunchu'wI' messed me up.. So I started wondering what happens in the case of adverbs which follow object nouns which have been topicalized by the {-'e'}.
How does the "what applies to what" change in such cases? I started to wonder, which in turn led to this thread.
