(Excuse my English:) As charghwI' pointed out a while back, the only object
we've ever seen {jatlh} take is {tlhIngan Hol}. I'm also of the conservative
school that says you can't use direct object markers to refer to an indirect
object (OK, some people say its allowable; I just prefer not to do it). It's
barely possible that charghwI' is wrong and the reported _sentence_ could be
the object of {jatlh}, but "me" never could. In this sentence, {jatlh} simply
has no object.
