I can't split at mjaj so, I must split the word in ghom jaj
which would be a composed word. But you told me you don't like to use
them.
So I'd say it's a bad word. But you seem to imply that it's valid,
so this one is beating me :( (also 'group day' doesn't make sense
to me)

well gh and m can't form a prefix because it's 2 consonants in a row.
there is also no suffix in egh (well there is 'egh but itsn' not the
same) nor in megh.
ghmegh is also not present in the TKD thus it's not a valid word.

nI is they-you
moH is cause
which leaves gh which isn't a verb.
also according to the TKD,
nIgh and ghmoH aren't valid words.
Therefore nIghmoH isn't a proper word.
