Uh, it says in HolQeD 1:3 "sex (i.e., perform sex; always SUBJECT)" my
emphasis. I don't see how a verb could be the subject of a sentance.
HOWEVER, since it clearly has a verbal suffix on it and 4:2:9 says
"verbs ending in suffixes... can never be nouns" it's a bit hinky.
Since we have ngagh (v) then I don't think we need nga'chuq as a verb
too.

I haven't been able to get on the MUSH. I would love to get on there,
but since I haven't been able to, Worlds Chat seems like a pretty good
alternative. Besides, variety is the spice of life }}:^)>
