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 :)

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 ?
