ghel De'vID:

I guess the question is, is it the noun that determines the suffix
class, or the referent of that noun?


Without checking any book, I say: when in doubt, always the noun.
In this case, a "choice" is not a person, even when referring to it.

On proof for this is the slang expression {Ho'} for "hero, idol", whichwill be {Ho'Du'} and {Ho'wIj} even when used to refer to a person.


Lieven.
