<p>We have <b>chev</b> in a canonical sentence: <b>'uSDaj chop,
chev!</b> <i>Chew his arm off! </i>(clipped). The second
sentence is presumabbly short for either <b>'oH yIchev</b><i>
separate it!</i> or <b>bIH tIchev</b><i> separate them!,</i> in
which case the subject of <b>chev</b> is not the thing separated
but the cause of the separation; the object gets separated.</p>
<p><b>chevchuq tlhInganpu' romuluSnganpu'</b> apparently means <i>The
Klingons and the Romulans separate each other.</i> That is, the
Klingons and the Romulans both work to make the Klingons and the
Romulans move away from each other.<br>
