is this canon? I understand {nobHa'} in a way that the _Subject_ is
taking back what the (Ind) _Object_ had been given before (not necessarily
by Subject though)
and if you want to say, "well, that would be {yaHmoH}", I think the
difference is in the perceived order of events, thus
{nob} gives - {nobHa'} takes back
{yaHmoH} takes away - {yaHHa'moH} gives back
(but I don't think you could use {yaHHa'moH} for the bartender example,
_maybe_, just maybe, {HevHa'} as in {tera'nganvaD latlh HevHa'}.)
