We have *an* answer: {vIH} can be used intransitively. I can't tell
from the example given whether it can be used transitively. "Can we
use a verb with both transitive and intransitive meanings?" A simple
"yes" or "no" from Okrand to answer this question would at least make
the argument of transitivity meaningful; as it is, we don't even know
if the question is important.
