If the first sentence were right, it would have two distinct and unconjoined 
direct objects, which is most likely a no-no.  If such direct objects are 
allowed, then the prefix is wrong, because it would have to be the 1st person 
plural object prefix - {gho-} - to reflect the combination of "it" (Sa'Hut) and 
"me".
