Type 3: Change/Resume
These suffixes describe verbs whose actions involve transitions or shifts from a previous condition or activity.
-choH (change of state or direction)
The suffix -choH indicates a transition or shift—either in the nature or direction of the action. It marks the start of something new or different from the previous situation.
- maDo'choH – we are becoming lucky or our luck is turning around (Do' – be lucky)
- ghoSchoH – he/she begins to go (somewhere) (ghoS – go)
In the second example, the implication is that before this moment, the subject was either stationary or moving toward a different destination. Depending on context, this suffix can be translated into English as "become" or "begin to."
-qa' (resume or restart)
The suffix -qa' shows that an action previously occurring, which had been interrupted or stopped, is now starting again.
- vInejqa' – I am resuming the search or I am searching for him/her again (nej – search)
