From what I see (and by all means *please* don't take my word for
it), it looks like there is only an object in the imperitive sense.
Actually, all that example is is a verb with a suffix and a prefix.
So, by my way of thinking (which isn't up to snuff yet, right

HIQoymoH Ha'DIbaH! (let me hear the animal)
