The rest of the adverbials modify the sentence by going before the object-verb-subject or law'/puS structure. and if you had an adverbial and a noun with a type-5 suffix, which would you place first ? I remember discussing this some time ago, and no definite consensus existing on the matter.
I would put the adverbial before the syntactic noun, though there's no absolute rule about it. Okrand has mostly done it this way: *qIbDaq SuvwI''e' SoH Dun law' Hoch Dun puS */You would be the greatest warrior in the galaxy./ (ST5) *batlh naDev SuDab */Welcome to this place (you inhabit here honorably)/ (PB) *QIt ghaHvaD yIn Hegh je vIghojmoH 'ej 'oy' SIQ ghaH */And teach him life and death, the slow and painful way!/ (PB) *vaj loghDaq lenglaHtaH Humanpu' */(thus humans can continue traveling in space)/ (SkyBox 99) But he's also done it the other way: *tlhIngan Dujmey law'qu' SommeyDaq batlh cha'lu' */emblazoned upon the hulls of countless Klingon Starships (it has been displayed honorably on very many Klingon ships' hulls)/ (SkyBox SP1) -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
