So far as I can tell, the object of *DIl* is the thing you are buying,
not the money you give or the person you give it to.
*vIghro' Daje'meH vIghro' DaDIlnIS. wa'netlh euro Danobqang'a'?
*/In order to buy the cat you need to pay for the cat. Are you willing
to give ten thousand euros?/

In english we can say, "In order to buy this ancient cat, we paid ten
thousand euros" (and because someone had protested that no cat costs
as much, I remind you that this cat is ancient..)
Anyways..
I recently realized, that if I write in klingon {vIghro'vam tIQ
wIje'meH wa'netlh euros DIDIlta'}, then this likely means, that "in
order to buy this ancient cat, we paid the ten thousand euros" i.e.
"in order to buy this ancient cat we gave money to the ten thousand
euros"
Is this correct, or can we indeed say {vIghro'vam tIQ wIje'meH
wa'netlh euros DIDIlta'} to mean "In order to buy this ancient cat, we
paid ten thousand euros" ?</pre>
