Qong (v) sleep TKD
QongDaq (n) bed TKW
In this form is Daq still considdered to be a suffix,
ie. is My bed = QongDaqwIj (treating *QongDaq* as the whole noun ) ?
What rules are there for using verbs in this manner ?
In the addendum to TKD (page forgotten, but the nominalizer bit), Okrand is not clear about
this manner, the nominalizer should only be used where there are suffixes on the verb...
Another (non-canonical) example...
nargh (v) = (to) escape
Could you construct narghDaq (n) to equal *Escape Route* ?
nuqDaq HIq Dapol
