<jImIS.>
I am having a problem with a few certain verb suffixes, specifically the
ones that turn a verb into a noun.
I don't have a problem with <wI'> which means "thing which does" or "one
which does".
What about <ghach>? I have seen some confusion on when and how this
can/should be used. According to my TKD, it would appear that it can only
be used when the verb has a suffix. ie: <naDHa'ghach> for
"discommendation". Does this mean that it is equivalent to putting "-tion"
in English? What do I do when I need a noun which is roughly "thing which
is", such as when I was working on computer terms and wanted a word for a
"program". I had <ghun> as a verb for "to program", but needed it to be a
noun. According to TKD, and what I've seen here <ghunghach> is illegal.
