Listening to the tape, I hear only {wagh}. However, charghwI' has (had?)
{waH} in his annotated dictionary, and this is the one that made it to his web
page. I *think* that Okrand has confirmed the spelling {wagh}. ~mark, do you
happen to know the answer to this?

No. Look on TKD 25: {-Daj} refers to "his," "her," or "its." This suffix can
refer to objects as well as people.
