The way I understand it is: "Can the Klingon make the Romulan kill himself?"

I think the problem is that we are not just in a structure of "X makes Y do
something", we've added " 'egh" in the mix.

So the Romulan is now both Subject and Object of its own action "HoH",
whereas "-moHlaH" refers to the Klingon's action.

In fact, within the verb construct, some parts refer to the Romulan's
action (The Romulan as the subject of <HoH'egh>) and the last suffixes
refer to the Klingon's action on the Romulan (<-moHlaH'a'>)

At least that's how I interpret it.

I'm not sure I'm being very coherent or clear tonight.

Hopefully a more expert Klingonist can shed some more light on this :)
