ghItlhpu' SuStel:
That's troublesome too. {-chuq} means that "each other" is the implied
object. We don't have any kind of prefix trick for {yI-} or for {-chuq},
so we mustn't assume that the verb can take an object other than the
implied "each other."
Try {HIvje' tItam} "exchange cups!"
jangpu' Felix:
I'd personally accept HIvje'mey penobchuq (not yInobchuq) as "give one
another cups", but it is indeed not explicitly supported by canon.
jIjang:
What I'm really trying to express is, "Bring out the cups and pass them
around (so everyone has one [implied])." {HIvje' tItam} serves as a
pithy, idiomatic way of conveying that, to my mind.
