This is not really the suffix you want. Try {-chu'}
DIron choptaH 'ej tugh Sopchu'pu'.
If you've got {-taH} on {chop} to indicate that he's just ngawing away, and
not eating with a specific goal in mind, then it doesn't make much sense to
use {-ta'} on {Sop} later. Also, {-chu'} is the suffix which indicates
"completely," not {-ta'}. The aspect still works here, though.
