Speaking of being weird....

That first line got me.  /lab/ is a verb, and /tar/ is a noun.  Flip flop.

And what is /muQaghwIj/?  /QaghwIj/ would be "my mistake".  I'm not sure what
/muQagh/ would be, I can't really parse it with an object.   It's either a
noun, or a verb, but not both at the same time!  {{:-)

We can debate Chomsky another time....
