"ry" is incorporated so the "-su" would have to go after in any
case... did I put that on the verb-page? Nope... Hmm... before
or after the mood-blocks (positions 2,4,5,6)? Do tell if you
find gaps in the grammar like this... I don't see 'em (the gaps
that is) since I've got the original copy in my head.

Anyway, doing without the -su makes for better rhythm: da-DUM-da
da-DUM-da da-DUM instead of da-DUM-da-da da-DUM-da da-DUM...
Unless "etši" is so removed from "ë-"+"tši" that the stress
have moved... Hmmm! (Affixes usually don't change the placement
of stress/length).
