My quibble is about {jang}.  {mujang} would mean "he answers me"; I am the
Object.  Asmuch as I like all the examples you quoted for using {mu-}, I
don't feel quite as good about it on {jang}.  OTOH, MO has used {paq qanob}
for "I give you the book."  I tend to look at {qanob} as fitting better in
this sentence:  {jaghpu'vaD qanob}.
