Qov didn't understand what I meant (I think) so I try again:
It looks to me that in <verb>moHlu' the "indefinite subject"
has to be the subject of causation and never that of the root verb
(that's what I would get if I applied lu' to the verb first and
THEN said that someone [specific] caused someone [indefinite]
to <verb>)

others can learn the core(?) of The Language, then the event (= the
aforementioned arguing?) is useful.
