Hey!
What a coincidence, I was going to ask exactly the same thing. Funny :-)

My question was the following:
"you see me" is "cholegh".
{qaleghmoH} sounds like "I cause you to see"
--> How do I say "I cause you to see me"?
(please don't recast this, legh is just a general example, it works with
many other verbs too!!!)
perhabs {jIH qaleghmoH}?
--> Or what would {choleghmoH} mean? "You make me see"?

> And how do we say "You will die on your knees'
{bItortaHvIS bIHegh} "you die while you are kneeling."

Compare to {QamvIS Hegh qaq law' torvIS yIn qaq puS} [sic] "Better to
die on our feet than to live on our knees." (Brigadier Kerla to Azetbur
in ST6)

muHwI'.
