Yes, as you say it's just speculation, either way. I believ that rij can 
NOT take an oject. It's defined as "make peace", so actually the object 
is inluded already. At least from english point of view, it makes no 
sense saying "He makes peace something".

Now, following {ghobchuq}, maybe there is some "with" implied, so 
{romuluSngan roj tlhIngan} "The klingon makes peace with the romulan"?

We really don't know.

Another question is then, would I say {rojmoHwI'} or {rojwI'}? :-D
