Thank you, I understand more clearly now. After posting that, and having the
correction made, I wondered how I could have been so remiss. I found a
message in the archive that referenced HQ 12-98:

/tlhIngan-Hol/2003/January/msg00036.html

With relevant excerpt:
WM:   And a typical direct object of ja' would be the person addressed and
      a typical object of the verb jatlh would be the thing you say.

MO:   The speech event.

But, I still misused {ja'}
