Besides stative verbs needing to take {-moH} in order to transitively take
action upon an object, there ARE numerous active verbs which also must take
{-moH}. Sorry, I did not make that at all clear in my previous post.
Some of you are speculating that {naj} is probably inherently intransitive,
as is {Qong} and {ba'}. So, here I adjoin the argument that {najmoH} would
translate as "cause sb to dream."
