Re: [Tlhingan-hol] Semantic roles with -moH... again

&gt;&gt; I have to confess, I don&#39;t know what to make of {tuQmoH}. It doesn&#39;t seem to fit the syntactic rule, but it doesn&#39;t fit the proposed semantic rule either (in so far as that rule is subjective). I think it&#39;s a victim of semantic drift, like {lo&#39;laH}.</p>

<p>&#39;e&#39; vIHar je.  {lo&#39;laH} rurlaw&#39;.  choHlu&#39;.</p>

&gt; How about this?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; {HIp vItuQ} - I wear the uniform.<br>
&gt; {HIp vItuQ jIH} - *I* wear the uniform.  (Not someone else.)</p>
<p>QochlaH pagh.</p>
<p>&gt; {HIp vItuQmoH} - I dress (someone) in a uniform.<br>
&gt; {HIp vItuQeghmoH} - I dress myself in a uniform.</p>
