mu'tlheghwIj vIchuH 

SoH= both "You" (n) and "You are" (v).
Would the (-'a' ) be completely ungrammatical to use with SoH (You {n} ) ?

Also- jatlh De'vID
>/Duy''a'wI' SoH/ is "You are my chief defect"

How is this meaning inferred?  ( Duy'a' ) means ambassador according to TKDA. 
 So, ( Duy'a'wI' ) should mean "my ambassador".
