The two verbs which are undoubtedly "verbs of saying", are {ja'} and {jatlh}, meaning that we can use them in order to do quotations. But there two things I wonder:

1. Could we use the {ja'chuq} as a verb of saying, i.e. to precede a quotation ? Could we do the following ?

{maja'chuqpu', (and here comes the dialogue)}

Or should we say the following instead ?

{maja'chuqpu'; majatlhpu', (and here comes the dialogue)}

2. Could we say the following ? (This has nothing to do with the previous question; I'm asking since we're on the subject..)

{majatlhchuqpu', qamuSHa'}
we told each other, "I love you"
