baQa'! DopDaq qul yIchenmoH QobDI' ghu'. Thanks for pointing these out. I'd
forgotten completely about {He'So'} and {HoSghaj}, and I had misremembered
{ghIpDIj} as a noun.
(Aside: It's interesting that of these five disyllabic verbs, the formation
of three of them is relatively transparent: {He'So'} from {He'} "to smell",
perhaps plus {So'} "to cover, to cloak"; {HoSghaj} from {HoS ghaj} "have
power"; {lo'laH} from, er, {lo'laH} "able to use".)
