This gave me such a deep belly laugh!  No no, ~mark knows that you 
mean "darkness." He's referring to Glen Proechel's practice of using 
bare verb roots as nouns whenever you please.  In this case, if you 
follow Glen's article in HolQeD 2:4, then {HurghDaq} would be "in a 
pickle," not "in the dark."  Although, I'm sure Glen'd just say 
something like, "I can tolerate some ambiguity in the language."
