BG: a question with -moH

I was just wondering how to say something like "you made me say it again."
My first attempt was: chojatlhqa'moH
I think that's right, but looking at it made me then wonder how to say
something like "you again made me say it." My first reaction was to want to
flip the order of -qa' and -moH but of course you can't do that. Much as I
want to turn -qa' into a Rover it's not going to happen.
I guess my question is, is my first statement above ambiguous, containing
*both* meanings? If so, which parsing would you come up with at first
glance, that you're making me do the action (which I've done before), or
that you're making me do the action (which you've made me do before)?
