I don't think so. That's why I like your use of {ghoS} so much. Still, as

Looks like we have yet another disagreement coming.
I feel amounts, including those measuring distance, may be objects of verbs.
I certainly prefer {loS qelI'qam qet HughDu' SIjbogh loD}.
The problem in tlhIngan Hol is that we lack so many words for measurements.
No "quarts, gallons, tons, pounds, feet, etc."
