Re: KLBC:Noun-like use of verbs

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
