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 <b>tlhIHchuq</b> in somewhere and expect it to make any sense.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Stop thinking of pronouns as verbs.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-- <br>SuStel<br>http://trimboli.name</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:kenjutsuka@live.com">David Holt</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Wednesday, October 25, 2017 3:30 PM<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:tlhingan-hol@kli.org">tlhingan-hol@kli.org</a><br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [tlhIngan Hol] pronouns and {-chuq}</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>jatlh Quvar:</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>>> For example if I say:</p><p class=MsoNormal>>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>>> {jIHmo' SupvIp vIghro'}</p><p class=MsoNormal>>> because of me the cat is afraid to jump</p><p class=MsoNormal>>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>>> It is wrong ?</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>>No, because here, it's a noun suffix.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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. </p><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________</p><p class=MsoNormal>tlhIngan-Hol mailing list</p><p class=MsoNormal>tlhIngan-Hol@lists.kli.org</p><p class=MsoNormal>http://lists.kli.org/listinfo.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
