There's these three sentences (which occur together):
{loDnI'Daj vavDaj je ja' qeylIS / nIteb peghoS / HatlhDaq peleng}
"Kahless tells his brother and father / to go their separate ways, /
And travel the lands."
{toDuj lutraj quv lutraj je / QoymoH tlhIngan tuqmey / tIja'}
"To tell the Klingon tribes / their story of courage, / And honor."
{DaH peHarghchoH / DaH molor yISuvchoH / tIja'}
"To tell them that now is the time / To take up their arms / And fight
against Molor."
In the first sentence, the explicit object of {ja'} appears to be
{loDnI'Daj vavDaj je} "his brother and (his) father". There is no
{-vaD} on them, though.
In the last two sentences, the implied object of {tIja'} is {tlhIngan tuqmey}.
