TKD p33 "For such meanings, suffixes (section 4.2.1) and/or pronouns
(section 5.1) must be used."
So I would render "I shall kill us", using {rupbej} for showing that the
speaker is prepared to exterminate:
{maH jIHoHrupbej} or {maH HoHrupbej jIH}
I can't find any guidelines for the prefix {jI-} in the first sentence
