This one also quickly came to my mind, but in both cases, the
zero <br>
prefix includes an object: "excite" is transitive (at least in
english) <br>
so anger does indeed scite something or somebody.<br>

<div>It may be transitive, but that doesn't mean it can't be used
without an object. The verb "eat" is transitive, but you can
certainly say "he eats" without saying what he eats. I think
there's no object here: anger excites generally, not anyone in
particular.</div>

<p>Right. And Klingon grammar marks general or indefinite objects
explicitly with no-object prefixes on verbs, so given that we know
by the translation that there is no elided object, this sentence
satisfies Jeremy's request. It is a verb with <b>-moH</b> that
has a no-object prefix (null, and we know it's a no-object null
and not a third-person-object null).<br>
