You know taD will correct your grammar, but as I appear to have confused
you, I'm answering now. *Qov* is my NAME. It's not a word. I'm often
asked, "what does Qov stand for?" but it's never been suggested that it
means "deadline." Oh, suddenly I get it.
The word you want is Qav. Re-read TKD 4.4. Especially the last paragraph,
beginning with "If a type 5 noun suffix ..."
