If you have no suffix on the verb before you apply /-ghach/, the verb is
considered to be highly marked, and is certainly not a "normal" word. It'd
be like Doctor Evil talking about a "laser."
Some possibilities (without contexts; usually context will provide you with
a better way to do this):
potlhbe'ghach
ramwI'
rambogh Doch (or replace /Doch/ with a more appropriate noun depending on
context)
