I know of no canon examples of chol with overt pronominal prefixes; the only two instances I know of it in use, from TKD, would have a third-person object in any case and so they're not illuminating.
chovnatlhvam Daqellaw':
{chollI'} "it is getting closer"
"it is getting closer" ghItlhpu' Okrand. "it is getting closer to it" ghItlhbe'pu'. {nuv wejDIch} lo'be'pu'. {nuv paghDIch} lo'be'law'pu'.
naQbe'law' mu'tlheghvam. poQHa'lu'chugh, {DoSDaq [it-none]chollI'} 'oSlaw'; {DoS [it-it]chollI'} 'oSbe'law'.
taH TKD:
--- tagh ---
This word would be used for, i.e., a missile approaching a target, when it is known that the missile has been aimed at that target. If a missile is getting closer, but its intended destination is not known, {choltaH} (with {-taH} "continuous") would be more appropriate.
{choltaH} jatlhchugh vay', {DoSHeyDaq choltaH} 'oSlaw'. jatlhwI'Daq SumnISbe'law' DoSHey.
