Incorrect. You *can*, and it's grammatically correct, but it becomes a marked
term, which will make Klingon speakers take note and snicker at you for making
such a silly word.

I've been thinking about this one. {boghqa'taHghach}. {boghqa'taH} is "he is
continually resuming to be born." This would seem to make the {-ghach}'d word
to mean "the process of continually resuming being born," or possibly the
result of such a process. Is this what you're really talking about?
