I can understand why the argument exists, even if I don't agree with it. The
idea is that the verb prefix is added to the verb *before* the {-wI'} suffix
is. Since verb prefixes are part of every bare verb, why wouldn't they be
part of a verb to which {-wI'} is added?
But as I said in a previous post: I, like you and most others on the list
AFAIK, don't find verb prefixes on {-wI'} nouns to be grammatical, and won't
until I see some canon that says otherwise.
