Body paerts and verb prefixes

- Bcc:
When using verb prefixes, espesically imperatives, with the object of the
verb being a body part, espescially the speaker's, is the body part
considered part of the speaker?
i.e.
Which is correct: {{Sa'HutwIj HIchop}} pagh {{Sa'HutwIj yIchop}}?
Personally, I prefer the former, because if you bite my arse, you are, in
effect, biting me, though I can see a possibility for it to be considered
ungrammatical.
And yes, I do see that this example has real dangers of being taken
literally, but that is another discussion for another time.
