According to Teresa Wells:

Blaine Bachman (usurping my position) answers:
>I'll take a stab...

>ghaHDaq paq vInob

>ghaHDaq to him (TKD 3.3.5)
>paq book
>vInob I give it (TKD 4.1.1)
charghwI' already explained both the "standard" way and the "shorthand"
using the "wrong" [:-)] verb prefix, but he didn't give references.
In section 6.8 of the Addendum (page 180), we see exactly how to say this:
{yaSvaD taj nobpu' qama'} "The prisoner gave the officer the knife."
