ghojmoH
Thus {ghoj} and {ghojmoH} each get counted, because each is found
in TKD. {bel} and {belHa'} both appear
Just a question, I'm sure you must have answered this before but please,
one more time.
Are words like ghojmoH, belHa' and muSHa' actual words or do we count
them as useful constructions. Suppose I wanted to say 'Teach yourself!'
Would I say ghoj'eghmoH *Cause yourself to learn* or ghojmoH'egh *Teach
yourself*
In my opinion the latter, despite being grammatically incorrect, is
easier to understand if you have learned ghojmoH as a separate word. It
is not that much of a jump to assume it is a separate word which has
been created for convenience rather than a construct.
Words with -Ha' are not affected by the above postulation, but are they
words in their own right too?
Write Back.
