This threw me a second. We don't really have any evidence that you can
make compounds like this, with a noun and a verb. We know you can compound
nouns with nouns, but that's it. Besides, it's pretty obviously a
loan-translation. Hmm, can we do better? I suppose we could use "Quj"
instead of "reH", wince we know that's a noun, but it's still a cheap
translation. Any better ideas?
