ungrammatical for me:

TKD, 4.2.1
"This suffix [...] affects the performer of the action, the subject. 
[...] When this suffix is used, the prefix set indicating 'no object' 
must also be used."

According to the rule, {vIchel'eghmoH} means "I cause myself to..." but 
it has to be {jIchel'eghmoH}.

The problem lies again in the use of -moH.
