OH! Well, darn! I'll change that right away. The purpose of Survival Uyghur is to fill in gaps like these, things I never got taught in classes and that would never be recognized in a formal Uyghur grammar, but which seem terribly useful for everyday life. Yes, you're quite right, I've never actually seen "chay quymaq" written; rather, I picked it up from listening. Though quymaq "to pour" is part of my vocabulary, I never made the connection. Thank you. I'm not 100% sure on drinking suyuq ash just yet, but I'll field test it and ask some friends. Thanks again! Oh… OH! Well, darn! I’ll change that right away.

Easy to confuse, but they're completely unrelated words. Also, while you're making corrections, you drink suyuq ash, you don't eat it.
