A wondrous thought popped into my head when I read that simple sentence. I 
rushed to my TKD and searched through it. Sadly, I could find no word resembling
"delicious" or "tasty." Such is life. Two more for the wish list IAC...

>Why not using {-ta'} on the verb, i.e. the action of dying is over
>(accomplished)?

>{-ta'} "...is used when an activity was deliberately undertaken, the
>implication being that someone set out to do something and in fact
>did it." (TKD 4.2.7)  That's not the case here, so {-pu'} is right.

Then it could be <yiHlij vIHeghmoHta'>. Or even better yet, <_vISoppu'mo'_ 
yiHlij vIHeghmoHta'>

Smash the State, and have a nice day.
