really? according to TKD, p.60:

"Any noun in the sentence indicating something other than
subject or object comes first, before the object noun. Such
nouns usually end in a Type 5 noun suffix (section 3.3.5)."

IMO, the "bare" sentence is {He rethlDaq 'oHtaH}, everything else
is there to modify {He}, qar'a'?
