I don't think they do.
I found this example from TKW, p.196:
{SeymoH QeH.} Anger excites.
"I polish" or better "I am polishing", seems a perfectly acceptable sentence
in English, though that's not to say that {jIbochmoH} is acceptable.

Hi!
I might be confused, but do verbs with the suffix -moH need an object??
Can I say {jIbochmoH} "I polish" i.e. "I cause to be shiny"?
Quvar.
