I lie to you. You are the person who receives the result of the action.
Now, I'm not entirely certain if {qanob} is acceptable without an explicit
object as "I give it to you," but if we assume that {nep} does not normally
take an object, then {qanep} means exactly "I lie to you."
If {nep} DOES take an object, it would have to be something like
{vItHa'ghach}, which seems really silly to me.

I have one example of MO's using {nep}. It is {nepwI' Daba'} and is
translated as "He is obviously lying." Perhaps there are concepts about
cultural idioms here.
