>The verb /ja'chuq/ "discuss, tell one another" is really the verb /ja'/
"tell, report" plus the suffix /-chuq/ "each other." As specified in TKD
section 4.2.1, /-chuq/ is only used with plural subjects (and it doesn't use
objects). You can say */Saja'chuqnIS/, because that's got a prefix that
indicates an object. Consider /ja'chuq/ a thing that multiple people do
together. One party does not do it to another.
