*QuQ tuj*/hot engine./

<br>
I disagree.
<br>
{Quchlaw' loD} is a phrase/sentence "Verb+Subject". The "action"
is being happy. What is he doing? He is being happy.
<br>
<br>
{loD Quchlaw'} is not a phrase/sentence that can stand alone.
There is no "action" in the sense of something happening. It's a
noun plus a descriptive word.
<br>

<br>
<p>The difference is between a sentence and an adjective, not
between an action and a description. Besides, the explanation of
type 6 suffixes doesn't say anything about ACTIONS being
qualified, OR sentences; it simply says "these suffixes show how
sure the speaker is about what is being said." An adjectival verb
is something being said; qualifying it with a type 6 suffix meets
that criterion. The only question is whether it's allowed at all
due to the original restriction placed on adjectival verbs, which
Okrand has occaionally chipped away at, but only VERY slightly.<br>

<br>
This is your interpretation here. At this point, nobody knows what
it really "means".
<br>
<br>
It was you who taught me not to assume that things may mean
something just because you think that's what they mean before
having canon rules about them.

<p>Thank you, I was making that point at YOU.<br>
