so you consider {qeq} to be intransitive? bc the bouncing of the
original subject to an "other" noun with {-vaD} is not in TKD, is it?

well, I haven't seen RoboCop, but for all I know, it may well have
no plot at all (ducking for cover...)
assuming the "real" plot of the movie I _am_ talking about is well-known,
I took some liberties with it...
cha' loDnI' lut DalaD: *bIluS* tuq *'elwuD* *jeyyIq* je.
You are about to read the story of two brothers:
*'elwuD* and *jeyyIq* of the house of *bIluS* (esp. *jeyyIq* :)
SuvwI' chaHbe' 'ach luquvnISmoHlu': bom Dunqu' bom.
They are no warriors, but they have to be honoured:
they sing "fabulous" songs.
yajHa'ghachHommo' ngaqbogh muchwI'pu' chIl.
Due to some minor misunderstandings they lost their
supporting musicians ("the band")
Huch yap Hutlh ghojmoqchaj 'e' lughojDI' ...
As soon as they learn that their Nanny is in need of money ...
... ngapbogh muchwI' nejchoH.
... they start to bring the band back together.
Qatlhqu' Qu' 'ach Qap.
This is very difficult but they succeed.
Huch'e' Hutlhbogh ghojmoqchaj luSuqmeH ...
In order to earn the money needed ...

... they need to sing for a big crowd.

They succeed again.
'ach qaS yajHa'ghachmey 'ej luqoplu'.
But some misunderstandings occur and they are arrested.

This story will soon resume.
