<p>Taking a certain kind of object doesn't mean a verb HAS to have
an object. It just means that an object is possible, and this is
what it is.</p>
<p>When you leave off an object where an object is possible, the
object is interpreted as unknown or vague. "Thus, <b>jIyaj</b><i>
I understand</i> can be used when the speaker understands things
in general, knows what is going on, or understands what another
speaker has just said."</p>
<p>So it is with <b>mej.</b> If you have no object, the object is
unknown or vague. <b>DaH jImej</b> doesn't specify the place
you're leaving because it doesn't need to: context makes it clear
that it refers to wherever you currently are. But you could, if
you wanted to, be less vague: <b>DaH pa'vam vImej</b><i> I will
leave this room now.</i></p>
<p>P.S.: Don't say <b>'oHnISpu'.</b> You're not talking about a
completed needing to be; you're talking about a past needing to be
that is indistinct in its duration and ending. Say <b>'oHnIS.</b><br>
