The {-qang} part doesn't sit that easily with me. I can't manage to get
it to connect firmly to the object of the verb; it keeps wanting to stay
with the subject in my mind. I believe my problem is with trying to say
which of the other suffixes are affected by {-moH}. In this example, it
obviously in supposed to make the {-qang} apply to the object, but there
were other examples that didn't work that well when I first tried to get
my head around it. It was over a year ago; maybe I just "didn't get it"
back then, and I'm merely being gunshy now.
