This situation has been run into before. And you are absolutely correct;
you cannot say that in one sentence in Hol at this time. Try soemthing
like this:
jIqIp'egh 'e' raD yaS
"The officer forces that I hit myself."
Okay, not the best recast, but you (hopefully) get the idea: seperarate
into either two full sentences, or two combined with <'e'>.
Just my cha' DeQmey...
