What, for crying out loud, are you doing here?
"The captain killed." is {HoH HoD}
"I know whom?" or in "better" English "Whom do I know?" is {'Iv vISov?}
Do you still not realize that the way you're trying to use "whom" here
is as a relative pronoun?
I hope you don't propose {HoH HoD 'Iv vISov?} to mean
"I know who was killed by the captain."
