Exactly. And there's also
Qu' DataghDI' 'aqtu' mellota' je yIqaw.
When you begin a mission, remember Aktuh and Mellota. (TKW)
(By the way, I suppose if you consider {'aqtu' mellota' je} as a title, not as
distinct nouns, you can rationalize away the incorrect prefix on {qaw} . . .)
In an interesting phenomenon, {mev} is another one of those verbs which go
both ways. So, both "start" and "end" have this rather unique flexibility!
Coincidence? Probably. Really cool? You betcha.
