romuluSngan HoH'eghmoHlaH'a' tlhIngan? I can't understand this.. "the klingon is able to make himself kill the romulan" ? Is this canon ?
The way I understand it is: "Can the Klingon make the Romulan kill himself?" I think the problem is that we are not just in a structure of "X makes Y do something", we've added " 'egh" in the mix. So the Romulan is now both Subject and Object of its own action "HoH", whereas "-moHlaH" refers to the Klingon's action. In fact, within the verb construct, some parts refer to the Romulan's action (The Romulan as the subject of <HoH'egh>) and the last suffixes refer to the Klingon's action on the Romulan (<-moHlaH'a'>) At least that's how I interpret it. I'm not sure I'm being very coherent or clear tonight. Hopefully a more expert Klingonist can shed some more light on this :) ~mughwI' 2016-12-20 19:52 GMT+01:00 mayqel qunenoS <mihkoun@gmail.com>:

but I need to ask you.. you wrote {mopDaj tuQHa''eghmoH}. I understand this to mean "he took off (undressed) his robe".
however, when a word carries the {-'egh}, isn't that word incapable of having an object ?
