Thinking about this more: How ought I to express "oneself" as the indrect
object?
"Napoleon crowned himself emperor"
"Give yourself more money"
I suppose the first case could be expressed "Napoleon promoted himself
to the rank of emperor": {voDleH patlhDaq num'egh "Napoleon"}
Would the second would be {SoHvaD Huch law' yInob}?
