Why even use the {ma-} prefix? {Qong Doy'wI'pu'. Sop ghunghwI'pu'.}

If this is poetry, I don't like it. :-)
I think it's very odd, and I don't think it's *ever* called for.
In my opinion, its usefulness would be in it's jarring effect.
I'll file it along with lone {-ghach} on a verb, {HochDIch} and
{paghlogh} etc., and the possibility of a type 5 {-luH} or {-la'}
verb pseudosuffix.
