jIQoch. The reason there's no I-us (or I-me, you-you (sg/pl), we-me, we-us)
is precisely because of the VS1 /-egh/, /-chuq/. Sure, it doesn't convey
singular/plural, but for some reason that doesn't bother me.

It certainly gets the idea across. If you want to convey more clearly that
*I* am the one doing the seeing, you could certainly elaborate:
jIH vInuDDI' malegh'eghlaH 'e' vItu'.
To summon charghwI''s mantra, recast, recast!
