I always heard "maja'chuqjaj." "*bIja'chuqjaj" would not be correct, since
we are told that "-chuq" can only be used with plural subjects (how can
"you (singular) talk to each other"?). Hrm. I suppose "ja'chuq" can be
taken as a lexicalized form, no longer "ja'"+"-chuq", but it still doesn't
make much sense in second-person singular in this situation.
