-taHHa'
That's the VS7 {-taH} "continuous", combined with the VSR {Ha'} "undo". What
would that mean? Discontinuous, starting and stopping many, many times?
Instantaneous, occuring in less than the blink of an eye? I'm inclined to go
for
the latter.
There are other combinations I wonder about too, like {-neSHa'} (dishonored?
ashamed? offended?) and {-lI'Ha'} (interrupted?) and {-beHHa'} (taken down?
disassembled?) and {-choHHa'} (change back? maintain? the literal undo?).
I view -taHHa' as "intermittent."
At least we do have one new use of -Ha' directly from Okrand. It is nobHa' =
gives back, returns (the money).
