<p class="MsoNormal">The gloss “blow (into wind instrument) to produce sound” in KGT may have been overly specific. I think Okrand probably meant {SuS}to be a general word for “blow (into/onto/at something)” – i.e. what the wind {SuS} does. Perhaps it was
originally a weather verb like {SIS} “It’s raining”-- {SuS} “It’s winding” as it were or. more colloquially, “The wind is blowing.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Okrand has discussed {SuS}:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(KGT 75): Wind instruments (there is no overall term for them) range from the simple flute or fife ({<b>Dov'agh}</b>), generally crafted from a bone, to the highly complex {<b>meSchuS}</b>. This is a very large instrument, not at all easily
moved from place to place, which consists of a network of interlocking tubes. One tube terminates in the mouthpiece ({<b>ngujlep}</b>) into which the player blows ({<b>SuS}</b>).<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(qepHom 2017 p.20): The verb {<b><span style="color:red">jo'}</span></b> means “<i>blow into a container of some kind”</i> in the sense of “<i>inflate, fill with air, blow up”</i> ('blow up' like to blow up a balloon, not 'explode'). It's
used for blowing up a balloon, blowing into a paper bag (so you can then hit the bag against something so that it explodes with a loud noise), whatever it is that glass blowers do, and, yes, blow bubbles. It's not the same as {<b>SuS}</b>, which can also be
used for blowing out a candle. With {<b>SuS}</b> you're blowing into/onto/at something, but the air gets out of the thing (or never goes in it). With {<b>jo'}</b>, the air is trapped in the thing and can't come out until you let it out (or the thing breaks).
The object of both verbs is the thing you blow into/onto/at. If you use a {<b>-Daq}</b> construction, it implies that you missed – you blew towards the object, but the air bypassed it.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:4.0pt">> {SuS} is a verb as well as a noun, so <span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>{SuS} should be sufficient<o:p></o:p></p>
