My computer choked when I tried to add type-6 suffixes into the
fray, so that's an estimate: 15,573,173,616. I ran my program again,
concentrating on all valid combinations for the verb /legh/ with prefix, and
type-1, type-5, type-7, and type-9 suffixes, -Ha', -Qo', -be', and -qu'. I
came up with 144,052 possible, and just multiplied for variations on type-2,
type-3, type-4, type-6, and type-8, which I figured could reasonable occur
in any combination.
