targh tIn boHoHjaj.
Of course, that implies that several of us gang up on one targ.
Note that for "big" it is better to use the verb "be big" {tIn}
than the suffix {-'a'}, since the latter indicates more than
size. It really represents significance. Often, this
accompanies size, but not always. The classic example is the
difference between {Duy} and {Duy'a'}.
