I, too, can use help here. I have been using {ghel}, {jang}, {jatlh} and
{jach} as intransitive-only verbs. Thus, my sentences have ended up as:
jIghel, jIjatlh <<qaS nuq?>> bIjang, bIjatlh <<qaS pagh.>>
Intransitive obviously means "no object," precluding the idea of "direct
object."
I would appreciate a full discussion of this topic.
