Can the prefix trick be used with -lu'? For example,
vIleghlu': I was seen
Or do we have to make the indefinite subject explicit, with vay':
mulegh vay': Somebody saw me</pre>

<p>I don't understand how this has anything to do with the prefix
trick. <b>vIleghlu'</b> is the normal way to say <i>I am seen*.</i>
The prefix trick becomes involved when you're using a verb prefix
to indicate an indirect object instead of a direct object. I
suppose the question might be whether something like <b>jIHvaD
ghaH chuplu'</b><i> He is recommended to me </i>could be
altered via the prefix trick: would it be <b>ghaH vIchuplu'?</b>
I don't see any technical reason why it couldn't be done, but as
you say, it has never been seen in canon so there's no supporting
evidence for it either.</p>
<hr width="100%" size="2">* <i>I was seen</i> would normally be
expressing a single instance of being seen, rather than a general
state of being seen or anything like that, and would usually appear
as <b>vIleghlu'pu'.</b><br>
