I have a question on {chenHa'moH}.  It seems to me that what Dilbert
wants to say is {jIchenHa'moH} "I will become destroyed", but is this
grammatical?  There seems no example of {chen} without an object.  We
could say {jIchenHa''eghmoH} "I will destroy my self" or even
{vIchenHa'moHlu'} "someone will destroy me" but that does not convey
the same meaning.
