[Tlhingan-hol] Interactions between verb suffixes

[Steven Boozer]

It may be culturally significant, but there aren’t many examples of {-qang} known:

QaHqang
He/she is willing to help. KGT

Heghqang
he/she is willing to die TKD

HeghqangmoHlu'pu'
It made him willing to die. TKD

qaja'qang
I am willing to tell you TKD

vaSvamDaq tuq veng je quvvaD Heghqangbogh SuvwI’ tu’be’lu’’a’
Is there nobody in this hall prepared to die for the honor of
your tribe and city? PB


Does anyone know of any others from the paq’batlh?

Sleeping on it, I realized vImejmoHmeH jIHqang means "I am willing to be, in order to make them depart."   […]I like Will's suggestion of vImejmoHmeH jIvangqang for disambiguating vImejqangmoH. It's direct.

Looking over the examples in TKD 6.3 and imagining -qang added to the pronoun, I see varying levels of weirdness, all avoidable.
