[Tlhingan-hol] -Qo', -neS, -taHvIS

[Fiat Knox]

TKD, 4.3. "Rovers":-

"Unlike -be', the position of -Qo' does not change: itoccurs last, unless followed by a Type 9 suffix."

-vIS is a Type 9 suffix.


TKD, 4.2.9. "Type 9: syntactic markers, under -vIS":-

"This suffix is always used along with the Type 7 suffix -taH continuous."

This is interesting ... does this mean that "while she continues to refuse to drink the tea" can be parsed as

{Dargh tlhutlhtaHQo'vIS}

accordingly?

Further, can anyone think of an instance where -neS honorific has to be used at the same time as the -taH and -vIS suffixes, as in


{chaw'taHneSvIS}

for instance?

They look grammatically correct, but ... awkward, to me.
