[Tlhingan-hol] KLBC: "shut up or I'll hit you"

[Robyn Stewart]

I thought of it, but the -choH seemed to mitigate the issue for me.  I
suppose it's because yItamchoH is canonical. 

Do you yourself think that yItamchoH should now be considered an error? I
think yItamchoH and yItam'eghmoH both say to do something, while *{yItam}
says to be something, and perhaps that doesn't sound like a command.

Edit: I now see that someone was proposing a naked {yItam}.
