reH Suvrup SuvwI''a'.  Of course, what I *meant* to say was that the use
of an *object* with an intransitive verb doesn't work for me.  And since
{-lu'} modifies the interpretation of verb prefixes, with the only valid
prefixes being the ones that normally indicate a singular third-person
object, the only reasonable prefix on an intransitive verb+{-lu'} is the
null prefix.
