I was responding to your sentence, something like {qam muS 'uS}.  I too like
to play with similar sounds.  I'll show you what I did, in slow motion.

{'uS muS wuS} - The lips hate the legs 
chaq  - perhaps 
'uS puS - a few legs
wuS chuS - noisy lips
{chaq 'uS puS muS wuS chuS} - perhaps the noisy lips hate a few legs
je - and (after nous), also, too (after a verb) See section 5.3
{chaq 'uS puS muS je wuS chuS?}  - perhaps noisy lips also hate a few legs?
Complete nonsense, just playing with the sound {-uS}.
Try:  "The confused nose adjusted the lightweight wavy bladed knife."

wavy bladed knife is a new word: QIS
