Hard to say. For myself, I don't like using "wa'DIch" this way. It's an
adverb in this usage, and we have nothing in TKD that says you can use it
as an adverb, only as an adjectival form following a noun. On the other
hand, it's clear that even among Grammarians there's a difference of
opinion, since Captain Krankor uses wa'DIch adverbially in his anthem,
taHjaj wo' (the lines reading: matoy'rupchu', maSuvlaHchu', maHeghqangchu',
'utchugh, 'utmo'; 'ach Heghmaj yIpIHQo', ghaytan wa'DIch jagh'e'
wIHeghmoHmo'.)
