If he ever said this, it never entered the canon. Was this something he 
said to you personally, or was it part of an interview or a published 
source? I remember in your HolQeD interview with him on the topic YOU 
made this claim to HIM, but he didn't say anything about it.

MO: Are there any other verbs of speech?

WM: And a typical direct object of {ja'} would be the person addressed 
and a typical object of the verb {jatlh} would be the thing you say.

MO: The speech event.

WM: I like that term.

MO: Including a direct quote. I'm telling a story. He "blah, blah, blah" 
{jatlh}.
