Can we write {jIDIl} for "I pay" ? Or {DIl 'Iv ?} for "who will pay ?" ? Or since the translation of {DIl} is given as "pay for", it always needs to have an object ? qunnoq

Sure.
Or since the translation of {DIl} is given as "pay for", it always needs to have an object ?
No, this addition is added to make clear that it can take an object. See the example from the tapes: {DaH yIDIl} "Pay now!" and the free parking field on Monopoly, I think it was {DIlnISbe'}. -- Lieven L.

Object of {DIl} implied: DaH yIDIl Pay now! TKD N.B. Since the prefix is {yI-} this could also be translated as "Pay for it now!" bIDIlbe'chugh vaj bIHegh Pay or die!

Remember that if a verb /can/ have an object, it can have /no/ object, meaning the verb is done to things in general or to things unspecified. I'm not aware of any special case where a verb /must/ have an object. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
