Re: KLBC:Noun-like use of verbs



>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 ) ? 

I think {QongDaq} is actually a compound noun made up of {Qong} "sleep" 
and {Daq} "location" not {-Daq} "type 5 noun suffix: locative".  
"Sleeping location/site" is (to me) a very unambiguous term for bed.  I 
think {Daq} is in the addendum.

>nargh (v) = (to) escape 
>Could you construct narghDaq (n) to equal *Escape Route* ? 

I would understand that to mean "escape *destination*".  Why not use {He}?

>nuqDaq HIq Dapol

jIHaghqu'!!!
