The explanation of *-ta'* says "the implication [is] that someone set 
out to do something and in fact did it." Presumably, the /something/ of 
that explanation is the action described by the verb.

If that is the case, then *Heghta' targh* makes no sense. The *targh* 
does the action *Hegh,* but does not set out to do it. Whether someone 
else set out to make the targ die is not what the explanation of *-ta'* 
addresses (that sounds more like *-moH*). You can only say *Heghpu' targh.*
