    <font face="Comic Sans MS">More importantly, using <b>-chuq</b>
      prevents the use of an object.</font><br>

    <font face="Comic Sans MS">Some people would get twitchy over your
      using a comma as a sentence
      conjunction.
      Maybe <b>SuvchoHchugh</b> makes more sense than <b>Suvba'chugh</b>,
      but it's your story.</font><br>

    </b><font face="Comic Sans MS">I used {-ba} because I wanted to
      convey the *slight* uncertainty of a fight.&nbsp; Obviously as enemies
      there's a good chance they may, but if <b>...'uchchuq poS DeSDu',
