Neither. Two reasons:
1. {ghach} can ONLY be used on verbs with a suffix attached. (It took me
awhile to fully grok this, too.) So it would have to be something like
{mughta'ghach}.
"Translated-ness" or "Translated-ation". (I know, that's an AWFUL
translation, I just can't think of english words that completely convey my
meaning.)
2. {ghach} is a type 9 Verb suffix. {vam} is a type 4 NOUN suffix. The
ramifications should come easily.

Therefore, I would go with
{lugh'a' mughta'ghachvam?}
Is this translation correct?
