SuStel has already pointed out the issue of lexicalising {tlhotghom},
so I won't rehash that. But even with that said, I still find it weird.
The verb {tlhot} really doesn't capture "amphibious"; it means "to land
*on* the water", not "to land *from* the water". To me an amphibious
landing party is still a {Saqghom}.
