We know that the object of {ghor} is the thing that gets broken.

TKW page 185:
pIpyuS pach DaSop DaneHchugh pIpyuS puS DaghornIS.
If you want to eat pipius claw, you'll have to break a few pipiuses.

KGT page 124
pel'aQDaj ghorpa'
Literally: before it breaks its shell
Idiomatically: before it's too late, while there's still time

So you probably need to say {vIghorchu'} "I completely broke it."
