Ooooh, this idea appeals to me! "{-ghach} *restores* the noun meaning
when a suffix is used on a verb which has a noun counterpart. It does
not *create* a noun meaning." If we can get official sanction for this
theory, it will go a long way toward keeping the "flavor" of tlhIngan
distinct from English.
