>> 36. Saqjan
>> Landing Gear
charghwI':
: Another verb becomes part of an apparent compound noun, though I
: guess it's just a polysyllabic noun. No compound.
peHruS:
: We already had Saqghom (TKD).
I'm surprised charghwI' forgot about this one; it's one of my favorite
examples. Compare:
Saqghom "landing party"
tIjwI'ghom "boarding party"
Which just shows that you can't predict which way Okrand will choose when
creating new words.
