Yes, it is. ngugh and ghIq explain a row of events.

You are on a long voyage until your arrive at the destination. Let's say
you arrive at 8 o'clock and it's on 8 o'clock when something happens,
then you'd use {ngugh}: on the exact time when you arrived. (I'm sure
two minutes later also counts)

The word {ghIq} shows that something happened afterwards, like a
seuence. Technically, you could use it multiple times in a phrase:
First I get up, THEN put on my shoes, THEN go outside, THEN have
breakfast, THEN walk to school, THEN ... etc.
