As soon as this thread was finished, I started following your advice, and yes you're right, it made much more sense placing the subject (or object) on the first verb that I could.

Until recently, I needed to write something like "the chancellor helps people who train and are willing to fight". So I wrote:

qeqbogh nuvpu' 'ej Suvqangbogh QaH Qang

I understand the reasons why the {nuvpu'} needs to be placed right after the {qeqbogh}, but it seems "strange" to see the {nuvpu'} -which is the object of {QaH} too- so far away from it. Doesn't it seem strange to you too?
