"Your home is not sufficient; Terrans."
If you are addressing a goup of Terrans, and are telling them their home
is not sufficient, then the noun suffix would be the plural {-raj}
instead of the singular {-lIj}:
tera'nganpu' yapbe' juHraj. (Terrans, your home is not sufficient.)

If a noun has a Type 5 suffix, it comes before the object or the verb.
(Sec. 6.1 & Sec. 3.3.5.):
DaH quvmo' qaHoH. (I kill you now because of honor.)

This sentence sounds somewhat metaphorical, but it is grammatically correct.
