One more example:
thel yulo e-gedh-ando (iii)
dog:ABS see:PRES OBV-bird-ABL
'A dog sees a bird'
thel yulo-vo e-gedh-ando (iv)
dog:ABS see:PRES-INV OBV-bird-ABL
'A bird sees a dog'
<<<<<<
This is probably because I still don't understand "topic" (now, where's that
darned FAQ gotten to?), but why not simply allow:
e-gedh yulo thel-ando
'A bird sees a dog'
