<pre wrap="">What’s the correct way to say “we share a thing with each other”? The direct object of {bon} is supposed to be the thing being shared, so neither {Doch mabon'egh} nor {Doch mabonchuq} seem right (and changing the prefix to {wI-} just seems to make things worse). {maHvaD Doch wIbon} seems awkward, but I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be that.
The actual thing I want to express is “we share the world with each other”, and within this context, I think {HochvaD qo' wIbon} works fine and avoids the awkwardness I perceived with {maHvaD X wI-Y}. It just made me curious as to how this would be expressed more generally.</pre>

<p>The correct use of <b>bon</b> is:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>B-vaD C bon A</b><br>
<i>A shares C with B.</i></p>
</blockquote>
<p>I see two possibilities. First, just follow the formula: <b>maHvaD
qo' wIbon.</b> The two-way nature of the transaction doesn't
come through with this, though.<br>
</p>
<p>Second, expand it to <b>SoHvaD qo' vIbon 'ej jIHvaD Dabon.</b>
Repeat the <b>qo'</b> in the right place if you need poetic
symmetry or meter.</p>
