Sometime back, Qanqor mentioned the controversy about including indirect
objects in pronominal prefixes. Here's my policy, not always consistently
adhered to: if there's a direct object, I put it in the prefix and use a >-vaD<
construction; if not, I put the indirect object in the prefix. Thus "I say
'hello' to you" would be >SoHvaD \nuqneH\ vijatlh<, but "I speak to you" would
be >qajatlh<. Any comments/clarifications/complaints/flames/what-have-you?
