A supraposition would presumably look like David's tonal clitic. As for a transposition, a hypothetical case might go like this (vaguely Semitic-inspired): malak "king" melke "to the king" malak bayat "king of the house" malak beyte "to the king of the house" If any natlang does the equivalent, I shall be duly impressed.
