I can't find any reference to his saying this. He did say that putting
a verb prefix and {-ghach} together is *seriously* wierd, but I don't
recall any discussion of prefixes and {-wI'}.
{muHoHbe'wI'} is wierd, no doubt about it, but this particular phrase
strikes me rather well. *I'm* not going to complain about it; in fact,
I'm going to applaud it!
I will point out that the original phrase has the words in the wrong
order, though. The wierd word is the *subject*, and must follow the
verb.
