Alright, you have convinced me in this, that a suicide attack contains
intentional dying. This does actually confirm what I felt, that
{Heghta'} implies intentional dying and therefore can certainly only be
used with a suicide.
As SuStel wrote, {Heghta' targh} makes no sense. (Yeah, only when the
Targ died intentionally, but we've had that already :-) )
