Type 1 Suffix -chuq "One Another"

<< First Page

Here is the second Type 1 reflexive suffix.

-chuq one another

When you want to describe an action being done to one another - They accidentally struck each other; you only fooled each other; We freed each other; Identify yourselves! - you use the Type 1 verb suffix -chuq one another.

When describing a verb with -chuq, the verb prefix indicating "no object" must be used. This suffix is only to be used with verbs using plural subject prefixes (we, you, they).

matlhabchuqmoHta'We freed one another
Sutojchuqpu' neHYou only fooled each other
SuqelchuqlaHbe'You cannot consider each other
bong qIpchuqThey accidentally hit one another
buSchuqThey thought of one another
tlhochchuqThey contradicted one another
Hoy'chuqThey congratulate one another
SumISchuqmoH neHYou only confuse yourselves
Qaw'chuqpu'They destroyed each other
chaq voqHa'chuqqa'Perhaps they are distrusting one another again

Just as with -'egh, so too can -chuq be used with imperative commands. Only the plural subject verb prefix with no object (pe-) can be used.

pe'oSchuqRepresent one another!
pejotchuqmoHCalm one another!
peSeHchuqControl one another!
petoDchuqSave each other!
peSeHchuqControl one another!
pebuSchuqFocus on one another!
