ghItlh bI'reng. jatlh:
When you apply {-moH} to a transitive verb, that verb already has an 
object; all its slots are full, so the beneficiary has to be marked with 
{-vaD}. But when you apply {-moH} to an intransitive verb, it "has ample 
room" for an object, so you can fill the slot instead of using {-vaD}. 
Is this your argument?
