Thanks for the help here. I now better understand that the suffix that
modifies the word it is attached to deals more with the word it is
modifying and not the subject of the sentence. I chose the -lI' suffix
because I was thinking of the subject of the sentence and not the fact that
the suffix was modifying a non-sentient object. Thanks again.
Qapla'!
