I thought it meant "These messages cause me to formulate an idea"
I'm testing my understanding next:
Is it wrong because to use -moH on transitive verbs because of the way it
sort of introduces another noun (as in "cause me") into the meaning in the
attempt to change it from nonsense "These messages formulate an idea"

So I could say " Due to these messages I formulate an idea" or
