I thought that was with -ghach and only presumed to apply to -wI', too.

I needed a word for "picture" some time ago. I came up with {rurwI'},
"thing which resembles". Might not be the best but served me fine at the 
moment. Then I started to wonder the possibilities with verb prefixes.

What you think of:

DururwI'    =  Picture of you     (thing which resembles you)
rurwI'Daj   =  Your picture       (your thing which resembles [someone])
mururwI'Daj =  Your picture of me (your thing which resembles me)

> charghwI'
