But the {-moH} is important here. If the object of a {-moH}ed verb can be th=
e subject of the action being {moH}ed, I think it could be meaningful in the=
 same way {Qo'noS tuqmey muvchuqmoH qeylIS} is. {qeylIS} is the singular sub=
ject of {muvchuqmoH}; the {tuqmey} are the plural object of {muvchuqmoH} whi=
ch makes them into the plural subject of {muvchuq}.

That=E2=80=99s obviously a more sensible way to say the first meaning, but I=
 still think the question is a valid one.=
