Can we write {jIDIl} for "I pay"? Or {DIl 'Iv ?} for "who will pay?" ?
Sure.
Or since the translation of {DIl} is given as "pay for", it always needs to have an object ?
No, this addition is added to make clear that it can take an object. See the example from the tapes: {DaH yIDIl} "Pay now!" and the free parking field on Monopoly, I think it was {DIlnISbe'}. -- Lieven L. Litaer aka Quvar valer 'utlh
