I don't see a problem here. A noun refering to the moment that an action is
completed.
pawlI'ghach would refer to the period of time during the action.

The flight and landing was good, but getting through customs sucked.
Sure this could be recasted into verbs; I know verb are prefered, but I
agree that a type 7 in a noun is usable.
We could say that this is one of those times where klingon is better and
that english is too weak.
