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'
