I can follow the English-to-Klingon logic of these sentences, but I do 
not see the sequence of grammatical rules that construct them from 
Klingon originally and legally. Unless you're saying that we can read 
this as *vI- [chel'egh] -moH*/I cause it to self-add,/ where *chel'egh* 
is being treated as a separate verb.
