<p>In my haste I misspoke. It is not so unwieldy. I was just hoping for a one word translation, something like, "renderings", rather than "rendered fat". But a two word solution is fine. I don't see it as unreasonable that since with {-lu'} the object gets
promoted to subject in the prefix, that then the {-wI'} might pick up on that and also promote the object to subject. But I also understand that we have no reason to believe that might happen and as much as I hoped that I could do that in this situation,
I'm fine with being told it's taking it too far.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>On the other hand, I'm not sure it is so clear that {tlhagh} is the object of {'Im}. KGT says, "the general word for "boil" is {pub}, but the verb used specifically to refer to the boiling of fat is {'Im} ["render"]." However, I believe the only example
we have of {pub} uses the thing being boiled as the subject ({pubtaHbogh ghargh HIq} from CK). Does {'Im} work like {pub} and the thing that is rendering should be the subject?</p>
