That's not interlinear. This is:

kiroja  suuollu  yllu    -le
book    be:3SG   3SG:MASC-for
'The book is for him.'

Is _-llu_ some kind of 3SG-marker? In that case you could
do the interlinear as

kiroja  suuo-llu  y   -llu-le
book    be  -3SG  PRON-3SG-for
'The book is for him.'

to be even more clear.

    beyond "Daniel", I've always found "the magnificent"
    to have a nice ring to it. :-P
