You Folks (as Receiver of the Action)
If you folks is the receiver (object) of the action, you put an ending -óle onto the verb. Again, there is no change from t to th before the -óle ending.
(3) óxwest give it to
óxwestóle give it to you [ t does not change to th before – óle]
(4) kw'átset look at
kw'átsethóle look at you [ t does not change to th before -óle]
You may wonder how -óle is different from -chap. The difference is that -óle is used when you folks is the receiver of the action (someone is doing something to you folks), where-as -chap is used when you folks is doer (subject).
Us
To say us in Halq'eméylem you use an ending -óxw. Unlike the other receiver endings you have studied (-óx and -óme) with this -óxw ending is not any change from t to th if the verb ends in a t. Some examples are shown in (1) and (2).
(1) óxwest give it to
óxwestóxw give it to us [ t does not change to th before -óxw]
(2) kw'átset look at
kw'átsetóxw look at us [ t does not change to th before -óxw]
