Question: Is there a rule for the placement of ba in yes/no questions?
 
In some example sentences the ba is placed after the focus pronoun. In others it’s placed before. I can’t see a consistent way to predict where it should go.

Here is one guide, this helps me. If there is another guide, I am interested, too. Also, note the link to the enclitic words section of their online grammar reference.

There is this previous discussion:
