Or "mis-cease"; i.e. the ceasing is being done wrongly.  Also, *{mevHa'} 
has never been used in canon (although {mevmoH} has), possibly because we 
have {tagh} and {chu'} available.

My suggestion exactly.  Here's the secrecy proverb in full for those who've 
forgotten it:

   not mev peghmey
   Secrets never cease. PK

{mevbe'taH} "neverending".  I like it.
