Do we have any clearcut evidence that numbers with {-DIch} have the Type 5
noun suffix transferred to them as if they were adjectival verbs?  I often
go quite far out of my way to try to avoid the issue.  When I *do* wind up
saying something like this, it does "feel" right to move the {-Daq} to the
number word, but I think it's somewhat unknown territory.
