Thanks for these examples. It might really be an exception, or unwritten rule.

What's the rule here?  When is {-taH} needed?

TKD, Chapter 6.3 "To be":

There is no verb corresponding to "to be" in the sense of "to be at a place". Again, the pronouns are used, followed, where appropriate, by verbal suffixes.

pa'wIjDaq jIHtaH.

pa'DajDaq ghaHtaH la''e'.

----------------

Perhaps the point is the phrase "where appropriate". This might mean, that you do not *need* the suffix -taH. You can probably also be -lI' at a place instead of -taH.

Lieven.
