We are left to watch canon and otherwise make assumptions about what objects are appropriate for any given verb. Usually it matches English, but not always. Many people have read the gloss for {vIH} and assumed that it takes an object, when we learned years after TKD was published that if A moves B, the verb is {vIHmoH}.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">So, if we can’t always tell whether a verb takes an object at all, how are we supposed to know which objects are appropriate for each verb?
