If I might jump in with a comment on my favorite "topic" of the moment (I
didn't plan that joke--really!), there's really no reason to exclude nouns
with the /-'e'/ suffix from being able to exist in the "header" space of
sentences. We even have at least one example (qIbDaq SuvwI''e' SoH Dun law'
Hoch Dun puS--Star Trek 5). If you've got a topic noun that doesn't fit in
as subject or object, throw it in the "header" space you're talking about
here.
