nuqjatlh? If {vIb} isn't used for science-fiction-style time travel to the future, what is this example then?
{wa'vatlh DIS vIvIb} "I time-travel 100 years into the future"
Oops. I had forgotten about or never knew about that example, which both demonstrates {vIb} with a direct object and apparently expresses the sense of non-natural time travel to the future, and didn’t think to look for existing examples. DopDaq qul yIchenmoH QobDI' ghu'.
