Re: QelvaD chab
Got it! Thank you! Never knew /neH/ could follow a noun. Damn it, so many years waisted :)

To wit:
Also unlike the other adverbials, {neH} can follow a noun. In such
cases, it means "only, alone".
{yaS neH} "only the officer, the officer alone"
{jonta' neH} "only the engine"
Some more examples of {neH} following both verbs and nouns:
baHwI' DoS yIbuS. QuQ neH. yaj'a'?
Gunner: Target engine only - Understood? ST3
yIvbeHlIj neH DapoSmoH vIneH.
The only thing I want you to open is your blouse. (ST5 notes)
