ter'eS,
let me see, if I understand clearly...
according to your analysis the following two statements are true:
a) to translate "She causes me to <Verb>" one must use either
i) mu-<Verb>-moH OR
ii) jIHvaD <Verb>-moH
and we have to learn, which verb goes which way.
b) i) if a verb that follows the mu-<Verb>-moH pattern is preceded
by <Noun>-vaD, the noun must be the beneficiary of the root verb
ii) if a verb that follows the other pattern is preceded by <Noun>-vaD
the noun is the beneficiary of the root verb if -moH is not present
and the beneficiary of the causation (i.e. the subject of the root
verb) if -moH is present.
qar'a'?
