Ha... And that was the exact OPPOSITE of my interpretation of -taH...
Funny how that works, eh?

Sure you could. I left it out because when someone says {jImatlh} "I am
loyal", I take it as a statement of that person's general character.
With {jImatlhtaH}, I take it to mean that at this moment, the person is
being loyal, but that may change.
Just my opinion. That and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee. }}: )
