It works for me, though I'd probably say {DawI'jan} in there to make sure
I was being explicit about it being a device and not a person. Better, I
think, would be SNES-Hey. :-)

Ooh, tricky. I understand this, and it's got serious potential for some
wonderful wordplay, but I don't think it's really grammatical. {'e'} is
*always* used with a prefix indicating a third-person singular object.

That is the way it's usually done.
>Why can I not use {Ha'} in the middle of the word, such as:
>maSopchoHHa', instead of maSop 'e' wImev
You can't use it that way because TKD tells us on page 48 not to. :-P
If you want to have fun with the words instead of making sure you are
absolutely grammatically correct, you'll probably be understood, but
realize that you'll be making an error.
Anyway, {maSopbe'choH} works, doesn't it? {-choH} doesn't mean "start",
it means "change in state".
