Unless MO give us more info., I can't see any great difference. Since he
seems to like <ghot> more than <nuv>, I'd use <ghot>. (Oh, hey!
Brainflash! Mayhaps <nuv> is only used with <-bogh> contructions are a way
of emphasising the QUALITY describing the person and not the person
HIMSELF. Pure speculation, of course [;-) )
