And the answer is . . . *shrug*.

Well, actually, I'd guess that {ghItlh} should take an object.  It refers to 
the act of putting things on paper (and maybe typing, I don't know).  This is 
why I use {jatlh}.  You're not tempted to try to use it as a verb of speaking.

Quite simply, Marc Okrand wasn't thinking of the Internet when he invented the 
language . . .
