You mean that meQ could be transitive OR intransitive.
I thought that tlhInghan Hol hasn't such verbs and
the -moH should be used:
poS lojmIt
lojmIt vIpoSmoH
please can you explain.

[ BTW my own language (that it's neither english nor kilingon) hasn't transitive/intr. verbs, using a pseudo
reflexife form instaed: "the door opened itself" instaed of "the door opened"]
