Gee, the only verb suffix between the verb and /-wI'/ in charghwI''s 
excellent list of 85 words is /-moH/.

It's almost like . . . ahem . . . verbs with /-moH/ have a . . . cough, 
cough . . . status equal to that of . . . harumph . . . root verbs.  Almost 
as if . . . ahem, cough . . . they're considered to be . . . cough . . . 
separate concepts . . . cough, harumph . . . .
