Wouldn't it be more complex if the prefix trick had a list of exceptions?
Using the prefix trick with {'e'} as the third-person direct object and
"me" as the indirect object seems like a straightforward application of the
idea. (For me, the real complexity here is in combining the prefix trick
with the different rules for prefixes with {-lu'}, bending {vI-} all the
way from "I verb" to "someone verbs it for me".)
