I'm wondering with regards to how the meaning of {weS} is altered, when the suffix {-chu'} is added.
Suppose we write:
{Huch wIweSpu'} we've suffered a reduction of money
But how is that any different from:
{Huch wIweSchu'pu'} we've perfectly undergone a reduction of money
Does the {Huch wIweSpu'} mean that we've lost some money, while the {Huch wIweSchu'pu'} means that we've lost all our money ?
I'd say so. Mind you, the lack of *-chu'* on the first one doesn't mean it can't be all your money, just that you're not specifying how much money is lost.
But even so..
If we write:
{100 *dollar*mey DIweSpu'} we've suffered a reduction of 100 dollars
How is it any different from:
{100 *dollar*mey DIweSchu'pu'} we've perfectly undergone a reduction of 100 dollars
In both cases, haven't we lost *exactly* the same amount ?
In this case, you'd have to find some other meaning for the *-chu'.* I don't think you can divine its meaning here without further context. The meaning of any *-chu'* is very dependent on its context. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
