^^^^^^^^
vIyajchu'be'. "If I say simple things" Daja' DaneHchugh, vaj "Dochmey nap
vIjatlhchugh" Daja'nIS.
Basically, if you're using "nap" as an adjective, it can't have "-chugh" on
it, and if you're using it as a true verb, then "Dochmey" is its obejct,
and I don't see how "be simple" takes an object.
>mu'meylIj napchugh vaj vIyaj
Oh, I see. You mean "napchugh mu'meylIj vaj vIyaj": If your words are
simple I will understand them. Word order!
