RE: "nuqneH" Sajatlh

No, it does not.  {Qaw'} means "destroy," not "be destroyed."  There's a world 
of difference between these two.

All right, I've goofed a bit.  I was slightly wrong in my message, so I'll list
some problems.  Okrand wasn't consistent in his examples with "-moH."  Some of
them are passive, and some active -- I'll list all that I found, in the most
literal form.

>From 4.2.4

tIjwI'ghom vIchenmoH
I cause a boarding party to be formed.  (passive.)

HIQoymoH
Cause me to hear (something).  (active)

>From the "cheat sheet"

nuqDaq waqwIj vIlamHa'choHmoH
Where can I cause my shoes to be made undirty? (passive)

Du'IHchoHmoH mIvvam
This helmet causes you to become handsome.  (active)


As you can see, there's an equal division.  But I've only searched in TKD.  I
haven't looked through TKW, and I don't have PK or CK.  If anyone can, could you
see if you could find some there?  Thanks.
