Hello fellow linguists.How do you say something hurts. Does it work like English?
*'oy' ghopwij*
Or is it more like my hand is hurting me
*mu'oy' ghopwij*
or do we have to use a completely different construction?

True, and Okrand has used it as a way to get around the conflict between
{-lu'} and {-laH}: qeylIS lIjlaHbe'bogh vay' "Kahless the Unforgettable."
