Perhaps I am mistaken.  I really did think MO gave us a combination of {'ar}
and the number suffix {-logh}.  That was just too obvious.  I did not even
consider the possibility that this is a whole new word with no relationship to
those two syllables.  I guess that {nuqDaq} really is not a combination of
{nuq} and {-Daq}, to follow your logic.

So, if {'arDIch} comes to pass, it won't be because {'ar} is taking the number
suffix 
{-DIch}, either.  It will be a whole new word without association to those
obvious parts when you enter it into your dictionary.
