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.
