I intended to say, "I could say that a cloaking device also
hides itself," arguing that {So'wI'} isn't absolute evidence for the
transitivity of the verb, e.g. a glider glides, and the person in
the glider glides, but the glider doesn't glide him. So maybe we
should say {Duj So'moH So'wI}, and allow the lurkers to say jISo'qa'.
pIm'a' {So''egh je So'wI'} {vIHbe' je ghew} je?
Sometimes tlhIngan Hol seems like trapdoor code: perfect sense to the
person who wrote it but impossible to extract the meaning again.
