Erg. No one is *wrong* here, because we have no solid *facts*. Who knows?
Maybe ~mark's language stack DOES operate in this case, and our example
sentence is a fluke or an error. Maybe there are certain times when the
Type 5's are treated as postpositions and other times when they are treated
simply like suffixes. We just don't know. My argument has not been, "You
are wrong," it has been, "You are not necessarily right."
We just need to track down Ok-- er, Maltz, aim a big, chunky-looking
disruptor at him, and ask him sweetly what the story is with this stuff.
