jatlh veS joH:
> How would you translate

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".
