<p>Yes, they use the same grammar. The main difference is that the
first one doesn't have a prefix, so ostensibly conforms to the
restriction given in TKD about prefixes with reflexive suffixes.
The second one flagrantly violates it. I believe the text of TKD
isn't trying to be a comprehensive rule about prefixes, but rather
describes the fact that objects in English like <i>myself</i> and
<i>each other</i> aren't objects in Klingon but are instead built
into the suffix.<br>
