Hmm, shouldn't that sentence translate rather as "Let the course change
it/sth.!"? The verb's not reflexive, so the subject/causer cannot be the
object here. If {choH} means change (the transitive verb), then "choHmoH"
would mean "cause sth. to change sth.", thus, in {He yIchoHmoH} you order
the course itself to change something else.
