So then the rewrite would be: *jagh' chaH cha' vaj'e', 'ach poS DeSDu' 
'uchchuq, loDnI' rur. Suvba'chugh*
*DaqtaghmeychajvaD ratlh ghopDu' neH.*

*jang <<Robyn Stewart>>:*
*jagh' -> jagh* (new typos for old) *p**oS DeSDu' 'uchchuq -> 'uchchuq 
poS DeSDu'* - Remember OVS order.

vI'jang:*
More importantly, using *-chuq* prevents the use of an object.
/"This suffix is used only with plural subjects...The prefix set 
indicating 'no object' is also used when this suffix is used,"/ (TKD 36)

  I think you meant to include*nIH* in there somewhere.
*
vIjang:*
Originally I did, but Qov suggested *ratlh* and upon looking it up, I 
agreed.

Some people would get twitchy over your using a comma as a sentence 
conjunction. Maybe *SuvchoHchugh* makes more sense than *Suvba'chugh*, 
but it's your story.
*
vIjang:**
*I used {-ba} because I wanted to convey the *slight* uncertainty of a 
fight.  Obviously as enemies there's a good chance they may, but if 
*...'uchchuq poS DeSDu', loDnI' rur* /"They grasp left arms as 
brothers,"/ then there may not.  The audience should know that.
