of course, a ngagh is normally not moving from place to place. but
this is the very absurdy of it. it's intended that the person that
does ngagh'egh is moving himself while doing so. he's moving from
here to another place. is it forbidden to expand the paradigm of
ngagh'egh?
but maybe i should ask less stupid questions.
