I can't understand though, why the {-mey} instead of {-pu'}. Is this some special case, as in {Dojmey}, which has {-mey} even if referring to beings capable of language ? SuStel:

But in your sentence, the action of the insult is completed, and your English sentence is conveying it that way. Therefore this should be vIghro'wIj tIQ tIchpu' petaQvam This p'takh insulted my ancient cat.

Oh yes, you're right, I obviously dropped the ball on this one.. ~ hkkhhk
