I don't think they should be numbered at all.  And subject and object and indirect object are parts of sentences, so something with component "jufra" 'sentence' (juf ju'a. x1 (text) is a sentence/statement about x2 [topic/subject/predicate/focus] in language x3        1h 111    [phrase (= jufpau, suzrelvla, suzvla, gensle)])
