I don't see any problem with vs3 and vs7 being together.  Sure some may be a 
bit weird for a particular verb.

Imagine a child playing with a light switch, chu'qa'taH, or he's pretending to 
send a secret code and he's going to stop after 50 times, chu'qa'lI'.

-choHtaH & -choHlI', hmm...

SImchoHtaH De'wI', the computer continuously starts calculating.  There is a 
glitch and it keeps resetting.

Just some quick ideas.
