Because the word for warn is ghuHmoH, it must be a verb. -moH is attached
only to verbs. If this is not convincing enough for you, look at the
Klingon-English side where ghuHmoH is correctly entered as a verb: alert,
warn. The noun for alert, warning is ghuH alone. As a stateive verb, ghuH
means be alerted to, be prepared for.
Nuff said.
