Whether *-ta'* must refer to only the verb or can be applied to the *-choH* is not a settled issue
this "not settled issue" concerns only the {-ta'} and {-choH} (when they co-exist) at the same verb, or does it extend to all kinds of verb suffixes ?
It's a question that involves many suffix combinations. Even those suffixes that explicitly modify other suffixes (e.g., *-be'*) sometimes seem to modify entire verbs or entire sentences. *qamejnISmoH:* do I need to cause you to leave, or do I cause you to need to leave? *Hoch DaSopbe'chugh batlh bIHeghbe' */Eat everything or you will die without honor /(PK) Will you remain alive honorably? *SuvwI'pu' qan tu'lu'be' *(TKW)*'ach QuvlIjDaq yIH tu'be'lu'jaj* (PK) What exactly does a negated indefinite subject mean, anyway? -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
