This is interesting indeed. It's written like this in TKD without any 
explanation considering the missing prefix jI-. Another translation 
given there is "It is I who has failed" - perhabs MO did a mistake here 
and uses the jIH as a third person subject in the phrase?

It is listed as a mistake here:

Did MO say anything about this yet?
