We have observed the previously unseen {eta}{rho}{sup +} and {eta}{prime}{rho}{sup +} decay model of the {ital D}{sub {ital s}}{sup +}, and measured branching ratios relative to the {phi}{pi}{sup +} mode of 2.86{plus minus}0.38{sub {minus}0.38}{sup +0.36} and 3.44{plus minus}0.62{sub {minus}0.46}{sup +0.44}, respectively. In addition, the relative branching ratio for the decay into {phi}{rho}{sup +} is measured as 1.86{plus minus}0.26{sub {minus}0.40}{sup +0.29}. Combining these new measurements with previous results and those in the preceding Letter, we account for {approx}(79{plus minus}26)% of {ital D}{sub {ital s}} decays.
