Did you mean to write {mabomchuqmoH maH} ? I understand the {mabom'eghmoH maH} as "we caused ourselves to sing".


SuStel:

So, this means that if we have a transitive verb on which we place the {-moH}, then:


a. this verb can't have the causer as subject and the done upon as object

b. we can't use the {-'egh}/{-chuq} on this verb in a sentence, such as the "the vulcans caused the federation to accept them"


So, we can't express the intended meaning in the way {*yadda*vaD X *verb*moH X}, and we need to recast.


Right ?
