Of course, the prefix has to accomodate its object, so it surely is {romuluSnganpu'e' DaH tIHIv}.
It seems strange having a prefix indicating that the verb has an object, but not seeing that object directly in front of the verb.
It might look strange, but the verb does not always need to have its object directly in front of it. This can happen very often, especially when you have two sentences:
{qagh vIvut. nom yISop.}
The object of *Sop* in that sentence is *'oH.* It has been elided as allowed. It looks like the *yI-* is agreeing with the *qagh,* but really it's agreeing with the pronoun whose antecedent is *qagh.* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
