[tlhIngan Hol] pronouns and {-chuq}

[SuStel]

I was saying that pronouns are not verbs. They use verb suffixes when they act in “to be” sentences as described in TKD 6.3. A single pronoun cannot form a “to be” sentence all by itself, so you can’t just throw a tlhIHchuq in somewhere and expect it to make any sense.

Stop thinking of pronouns as verbs.

But you could also say, {SuvwI' jIHmo' SupvIp vIghro'} "Because I am a warrior the cat is afraid to jump."  I'm certain that what SuStel meant was that when you are using a pronoun as the verb "to be" it cannot take noun suffixes since it is acting as a verb and not as a noun.  Which is basically what my first response was also getting at.
