<< No. I hit (qIp) the wall with my hand. My hand hit (ngeQ) the
wall. My hand cannot hit (qIp) the wall. See? {ngeQ} means the
thing which makes the impact hits the thing that is hit. {qIp}
means the conscious entity hits the thing which is hit by
controlling the thing which makes the impact. I fire a pistol
and hit (qIp) the target. The bullet hits (ngeQ) the target. >>

jIQoch You are right, {qIp} means I hit the wall with my hand. {qIp} means
to hit with an implement or the fist (hand). However, you missed entirely on
{ngeQ}. You seem to have it confused with {mup}. {mup} means the thing
strikes, makes impact with the wall. The bullet {mup} the target. {ngeQ} is
entirely different. It means "brush against, bump into". The officer bumps
into the yeoman = ne' ngeQ yaS. Still another word is {paw'}, which means
"collide with". paw'chuq cha' Dujmey.
