ok thanks.

This whole matter *feels* to me like, combining {-lu'} with {-wI'}, thus
writing something like {leghlu'wI'}, which I don't *feel* as something
actually making sense.

(but I may be wrong, and if I am, please do correct me..)

Yeah..

I thought of this too, while initially reading the {vanglu'ghach}.

Seeing it, reminded me of the "grammarian's desk", where krankor wrote (if
I remember correctly) that one could use the combination of {-neS} with
{-ghach}, as a way to get around the prohibition of using {-ghach} on
suffixless verbs.

Although, I never actually bought that argument.. I didn't feel it actually
making sense.
