<p>I suspect he was thinking: <b>Qeq</b> means <i>aim,</i> and I'm
going to generalize that <i>orient something.</i> That means the
subject of the verb has to be "aiming" the object, so the thing
faced has to be the locative. But to talk about someone or
something "facing" something else, someone needs to cause the
object to be oriented toward the target? Who is the subject?
Mostly, when you talk about someone facing something, no one is
making someone else face something, the object makes itself face
something. That's reflexive, and the two reflexive suffixes are <b>-'egh</b>
and <b>-chuq.</b> So someone can face themselves at something, or
plural someones can—OH LOOK, A SQUIRREL!</p>
<p>In other words, I don't think he considered whether <b>-chuq</b>
is actually useful. I think he only considered the syntax, that
the object is also the subject.<br>
