It's not necessarily true that you may say ?/qaQochbe'/ for "I agree
with you" The person agreed with isn't the object of the verb, the
way the definition is given. If /Qochbe'/ said "agree, agree with
(someone)," then you'd know you could do it. FOr now I treat /Qoch/
like /Qong/ and say that if it has an object, I don't know what it is.
It could be the topic agreed on, for example.
And you do know better than to use /'e' jatlh/ with the object being
the words said. You meant /jIjatlhpu''a'/ without /'e'/.
Just to stay on topic with that subject line. :)
