No, you are correct. He meant to say "SoHvaD jIjatlh." However, his
correction is itself questionable. While the translation he gives is
technically correct, the sentence he was correcting might also be
correct. As Captain Krankor has already discussed at length, there is
reason to suspect that pronomial prefixes can be used to indicate
indirect objects in some cases. I'll leave him to re-iterate his
proof of this if he cares to.
Naturally, I have plenty of objections to Will Martin's article. I'm
preparing a response for submission to HolQeD.
