*why* the type 1 verb suffixex {-chuq} and {-'egh} are incompatible with an

they indicate that the recipient of the verb's action is the same as the
subject. That's why I'm wary of proposals like {Qochbe'chuq}, since they
require that there be an appropriate object for the verb to act upon.

We are saying the same thing. I pointed out that {-chuq} may not take an
object after you tried to use an object with it.
