How do you make of the following line?<br>
<br>
   Don&#39;t speak to me of honor<br>
   quv HIja&#39;chuqQo&#39;<br>
   (pp 156-157)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think {ja&#39;chuq} is considered a verb on its own (it&#39;s been lexicalised), and isn&#39;t quite the same as {ja&#39;} + {-chuq}.  So I&#39;d parse this as a condensed version (through the &quot;prefix trick&quot;) of {jIHvaD quv yIja&#39;chuqQo&#39;} &quot;don&#39;t discuss honor to (for) me&quot;.</div>
