Notice that this sentence contains two apparent errors. The adverbial 
{reH} comes before the object {'e'}, and the second verb {nID} of a 
sentence-as-object construction has a type 7 suffix.

In this sentence, {'e'} is combined with {-lu'}, although the 
construction {net nID} would seem to be the correct one.

It's almost like Okrand forgets some of his own special exceptions!
