[tlhIngan Hol] chevchuqmoH

[Steven Boozer]

But there’s this line from the paq’batlh”

   Qo'noS tuqmey muvchuqmoH qeylIS
   Kahless united the tribes of Kronos (PB)
The only other example of {-chuqmoH} I know of is {pujchuqmoH} “they weaken each other":

(st.klingon 11/1997):   Since {-moH} is a Type 4 suffix, if a suffix of Type 1, 2, or 3 is to be used (such as {-chuq} “each other” [Type 1] or {-nIS} “need” [Type 2]), it would precede the Type 4 {-moH}; for example, {pujchuqmoH} “they weaken each other” or {pujnISmoH} “he/she needs to weaken [somebody]”.

If we say:



{tlhInganpu' romuluSnganpu' chevchuqmoH qeylIS}



Then does this mean that "kahless separates the klingons from the romulans" ?



Or does it mean that:



"There is a group of klingons and romulans, kahless takes this group, and causes each member (regardless whether he's a klingon or romulan), to separate the other member (regardless whether he's a klingon or romulan)" ?



And don't axe me, what "causes each member to separate the other" actually means, because I don't know.

I don't think the sentence is meaningful. -chuq means the subject is plural and does the verb to each other. It doesn't work for the object.

Kahless separates the Klingons and the Romulans.
