<p><b>chegh</b> doesn't mean <i>return on.</i> <b>chegh</b>
imparts a locative sense to its object. The object of <b>chegh</b>
is the destination to which you are returning. Any other locative
in the sentence refers to where the <b>chegh</b> is happening,
not the destination.</p>
<p>So if Chang's party were returning by shuttlecraft, he could say
things like</p>
<p><b>DaH lupDujHomDaq may'Duj wIchegh</b><i> We are returning to
the battlecruiser on the shuttlecraft now.</i></p>
<p><b>DaH lupDujHomDaq machegh</b><i> We are returning on the
shuttlecraft now.</i></p>
<p><b>DaH may'Duj wIchegh</b><i> We are returning to the
battlecruiser now.</i></p>
<p>Or, in fact, he could say</p>
<p><b>DaH machegh</b><i> We are returning now.</i><br>
