Not true. Page 172. ghItlh vIghItlhta'bogh DalaD'a'
Type 9 suffixes are just suffixes, they don't change the fundamental
rules of how a verb works unless there's some specific exception
mentioned.

Hmmmm, I like this a LOT. I think I might for my own uses structure
the sentence a little differently, but I like using tlhej, even more
than tay'. We now have several decent ways to do this, which is
good. I think my own personal choice may be something like this:
tachDaq maghoSmeH mara vItlhej.
