Unfortunately, you caught me on my disadvantage of not being here for a year.
I have seen you debates on this recently, and you have some very good
points. If I had been a bit more onthe ball, I would have caught my error.
Thank you for catching it for me! <HIQoy> is definately a better choice, if
just to avoid the issue, or take the "conservative" approach (which I try to
do, as BG).
Unfortunatelt, I vaguely remember (mis-remember?) someone pointing out canon
to the contrary in the past. Considering how long ago my "past" is, I am
not terribly certain of it. I am sure we didn't just arbitrarily start
using <qajatlh> for "I speak to you", and similar structures.

have to also wonder if our extention of this little "trick" to other verbs
isn't misplaced; it is entirely possible the original example of this was a
verb of saying.
I don't want to start a debate about this under KLBC; until the list seems
to come to a consensus on how this (indirect object without a direct
object?) should be structured, I will accept both flavours under KLBC (so if
you want to go any further with this, change the subject line. {{:) )
