Can we use {-ghach} on a verb with only a rover ?
In order to use {-ghach} on a verb, this verb needs to have a suffix, e.g. {naDqa'ghach} for "re-commendation". If though, this verb doesn't have a suffix of one of the 9 types of verb suffixes, but has only a rover, then can we {-ghach} it anyway ? I know that we can say {naDHa'ghach} for "discommendation", but since the {-Ha'} is a "fixed" rover (with regards to its position in a verb), I was wondering: Can we say e.g. {Quchbe'ghach} for "unhappiness" ? Or {QuchQo'ghach} for "the condition/state of refusing to be happy" ? mayqel *I love maltz* qunen'oS

I believe this are all right. I'm more interested in, and less certain about, words like *Quchbejghach*/certain happiness,/ *Quchlaw'ghach*/apparent happiness,/ and *Quchqu'ghach*/great happiness./ They seem odd to me, because they are using verb suffixes to do what noun suffixes could do, if only you had a noun for /happiness./ Although *Quchba'ghach* /obvious happiness/ couldn't be done with a noun suffix. By the way, I'd say that *QuchHa'ghach* is /unhappiness/ while *Quchbe'ghach* is simply a lack of happiness, but not necessarily unhappiness. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
