That is one of the most interesting combinations of
suffixes I've seen in quite some time. Unless my memory is
once again failing me, the only time I've seen Okrand
combine {-'egh} and {-moH} were with stative verbs like
{jI'IH'eghmoH}, and following the usual rules for {-'egh},
the prefix implies no direct object. Or was it an
imperative, like {yItuj'eghmoH}? Toss in the ditransitive
issue and this gets really spicy. Or messy, depending on
your perspective.
Meanwhile, I think I would have just said, {KLIC
vItIvrupchoH.} We cause ourselves to do everything that we
do. That's what free will is all about, and Klingons
especially understand the concept of responsibility for
one's choices.
