{cha'wIghvo'} means "from cha'wIgh." By itself it's fine. However, to be in
a complete sentence, you'd have to find an appropriate verb to attach it to.
TKD says nouns with {-vo'} cannot be attached to other nouns (though there has
been recent debate about this).

I remember hearing that we might be getting "be sweet" in the next book. Hold
