interesting viewpoint again.
the topic tag does not need to stick to the topic.
it can precisely be stuck to the comment, like in french usually :
"mon p=E8re, les coyotes, il les tue".

could Rob be so kind as to translate :
"the (whatever adjective or subclause) coyote goes"=20
?
we can compare ti- and -wa.
BTW as you know japanese writes without period so
actually wa is as much stuck to the preceding topic than
the following word ;-)
