I hate to play BG again, but when <'e'> is used, the second verb cannot have
a type seven (aspect) suffix. The second verb takes on the aspect of the
first. <jIghoHpu' 'e' Dabot jay'!>. ~mark often calls this the "obscure
rule".

Another minor correction: when a verb is used as an adjective, TKD says the
only suffix that can be used is <-qu'>. We have later canon examples with
<-Ha'> and <-be'>, but <-chu'> clearly does not fit. You could use
<lughqu'>, and you might also consider <pup>.
Also, I assume you meant <ghoj> rather than <ghob>. If not, what did you
mean?

qarlaw'. "of course" is one way of putting it.
Also, I think <qelbogh> makes more sense than <SaHbogh> here.
