3.11 What is the "prefix trick"?
jIHvaD paq yInob --> paq HInob
"Give me the book"
SoHvaD matlh vIpong --> matlh qapong
"I call you Maltz"
------------------
Can someone explain me why it is {vIpong}? In the book-sentence, paq is
the object of course. I give the Book. I give the book to you. But
aren't you the one who I name? I name you! Or am I wrong with this
point? Is this one of these "pab taQ" you just have to follow? (like
{Say'moH}+{nIS} = Say'nISmoH)
