Okrand wrote in an MSN post:

    When the indirect object (in this case, the hearer) is first or
    second person, the pronominal prefix which normally indicates first
    or second person object may be used.

    [...]

    if the verb is used with a pronominal prefix indicating a first- or
    second-person object, that first or second person is the indirect
    object.
