§ 26. Position of Pronouns in Verba Accompanied by Adverbial Forms 

 As has been stated before (see p. 474), the pronominal suffixes stand 

 in terminal position, and theoretically are added to the verb; but 

 whenever an adjective, an adverb, or a particle precedes the verb, the 

 pronouns are preferabl}' suffixed to these and precede the verbal 

 expression. The verb appears in all such cases in what ma}' be called 

 the fundamental tj^pe (see pp. 470, 474).

The same tendency to suffix the subjective pronouns to adverbial 

 expressions that precede the verb is shown even in cases where a 

 verbal expression is preceded by a nominal subject or object.
