Oh, I love it, myself. I'm not sure I see where you're getting that
- -taHvIS implies any choice or consciousness (does {qaStaHvIS poH nI'} imply
that the time had a choice about occurring?) Maybe it sounds a tiny bit
poetic, but it certainly makes a welcome change from that ubiquitous
{qaStaHvIS}.
