HoH kill
Yes.
HoH'egh commit suicide (kill oneself)
Yup.
jIHoH'eghmoH I cause someone unspecified to commit suicide (I cause someone unspecified to kill himself)
Ummm... maybe? It's all well to suggest that suffixes in a *-moH* verb might apply to entities other than the ones they're supposed to according to the rules of TKD, but in this word there's not even a /hint/ that there's someone else involved. I don't think you can reliably say that this word means what you say it means, let alone go on to base a linguistic formula on it.
luHoH'eghmoH they cause him/her to commit suicide (they cause him/her to kill himself/herself)
This, at least, has the benefit of actually referencing multiple parties.

Eh. I'm not convinced. I'd rather reword than trust to this. Instead of *quv luHutlh'eghmoHpu' romuluSngan,* I'd say *quvHa''eghmoHpu' romuluSnganpu'*/The Romulans dishonored themselves./ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
