We have had problems with that already when it comes to direct objects (cf. yIghojmoH)
What's the problem with {yIghojmoH} ?
It's the general problem that with a verb with -moH, it's not so clear who is the recipient of the action. compare {loD vIghojmoH} "I teach the man" {Hol vIghojmoH} "I teach a language" and now say "I teach the man Klingon". The clearest answer is {loDvaD tlhIngan Hol vIghojmoH}, but isn't the {loD} the one who does {ghoj}? Interesting, isn't it? :-) -- Lieven L.
