Quvar:

>Is {tay'qa'ghach} accaptable for [the german] "reunification"?

I think it's fine for the state of being together/united again; i.e. the 
end result.  For the act, however, you might add {-moH} "cause" or {-choH} 
"change in state/direction":

   *{tay'moHghach} unification (caused by an outside force or person)

   *{tay'moHqa'ghach} reunification (caused by an outside force or person)

   *{tay'choHghach} unification (the process: separate entities becoming one)

   *{tay'choHqa'ghach} reunification (the process: separate entities again 
becoming one)

Though you don't want to over do this.  If you're not careful, you can 
easily convince yourself to add even more suffixes - e.g. {-taH}, {-lI'}, 
{-pu'} - until the word becomes too long and awkward.  Of course, a German 
speaker may not consider that to be a drawback!  <g>
