}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.
You missed the suffix {-jaj} in the addendum.

}well gh and m can't form a prefix because it's 2 consonants in a row.
right.
}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.
Don't even bother looking up a 'word' that starts with two consonants.

}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.
Right. It could have been some word {nIgh} that you didn't know, followed
by the suffix {-moH}, but I made up {?nIgh}.
