TKD states that "It is not known if all verbs can be used as nowns...".
What's the policy here -- Is it acceptable to use verbs (without suffixes)
as nouns without the <-ghach>? Can nouns be used a verbs?
As an asside, whats the logic behind <De'wI'> for "computer". It would
sort of make sense if <De'> was a verb (e.g. thing that does data) but
TKD only has <De'> as a noun so <De'wI'> = "my data". Any thoughts on
this? I'm curious.
