Looking over the thread, I'm surprised that {-vaD} hasn't been mentioned.
HeSwI'vaD bach yaS. qIp.
"The officer shot at a criminal and hit him."
Which has a slightly different connotation from:
bach yaS. HeSwI' qIp.
"The officer shot. He hit a criminal."
The former being a little clearer that it was the criminal he was intending
to hit when he shot.
