Grammar Highlight {-wI'}

Disclaimer:  Each highlight merely touches on a subject.  This is not a 
thorough explanation and is not authoritative.

Adding the verb suffix type 9 -wI' to a verb makes the new word a noun.  The 
new noun translates as "the doer."  Examples:  ghoj = learns, ghojwI' = 
learner, student; HoH = kills, HoHwI' = killer; Suv = fights, SuvwI' = 
fighter, warrior.

These newly formed nouns may take noun suffixes just as other nouns may.

For example, SuvwI'pu' = warriors (plural).
