You say you don't see any difference, but then you go on explaining the same 
concepts I presented; I just didn't include the (..) statements.
I admit I'm not good at explaining things.

Ok, I just looked in TKD; the term "very" tends to be used when -qu' is used on 
adjectives.  I'll have to remember this next time I explain -qu'.

But my message still stands that muQuchmoHqu' doesn't quite match the english.
