This was translated by Lieven. I believe the use of {mev} here is
an error, and should've been {mevmoH}.<br>
<br>
{mev} can take an object, so it works. {bIjatlh 'e' yImev} is in
both TKD and PK.<br>

<p>Yes, but the suggestion is that perhaps <b>mev</b> can only take
<b>'e'</b> (and maybe <b>net, </b>I suppose) as an object. Any
other time, it's the subject that stops doing something. It seems
like the meaning of <b>mev</b> changes when its object is <b>'e'.</b></p>
<p>Whether this is true, I don't know. But you can conform to canon
by following the suggestion.<br>

{mev} also appears six times in paq'batlh, and takes {'e'} as an
object each time.<br>
<br>
There is also the sentence {not mev peghmey} from PK. It could be
that this {mev} could be given an explicit object, such as
{not {vIH/vI'/chuS/leng/bogh/vuQ} 'e' lumev peghmev}, or it could
be that {mev} has a homonymous intransitive form that is similar
to {Dor}.</blockquote>
<p>Except the translation is <i>Secrets never cease,</i> which
makes it clear that it's the <b>peghmey</b> that are doing
something not to be stopped; they're not causing something else
not to be stopped.<br>
