You mean we see someone other than ourselves? If *-'eghbe'* means 
anything, I expect it means "not reflexive," not "someone other than 
ourselves." I'm not sure *malegh['eghbe']* means anything other than 
*malegh. *I would always interpret it as *[malegh'egh]be'.*

I also think that Klingon grammarians would scoff at the seriousness 
with which we try to pin meanings and scopes on the rovers.
