Or "mis-cease"; i.e. the ceasing is being done wrongly. Also, *{mevHa'}
has never been used in canon (although {mevmoH} has), possibly because we
have {tagh} and {chu'} available.

My suggestion exactly. Here's the secrecy proverb in full for those who've
forgotten it:
not mev peghmey
Secrets never cease. PK

{mevbe'taH} "neverending". I like it.
