"Sā'at-e noh be khāne miravim" (We're going home at nine o'clock) uses the preposition be ("to") before khāne ("home") and the ezafe sā'at-e noh ("the hour of nine") just as with the other hour expressions in this set.
Where English speakers slip
The exact same letters نه also spell the everyday word for "no"/"not" (pronounced "na"), a genuine homograph. Context — usually numbers around it, or the topic of conversation — tells you which reading is meant, so don't assume نه always means "nine".
