Re: moHaq nap, moHaq Qatlh ghap

I did not misread your message.  I did not claim that your opinion differed
from mine.  I was disagreeing with your statement: "Since verb prefixes are
part of every bare verb, why wouldn't they be part of a verb to which {-wI'}
is added?"  This is the only part of your message I quoted.  My answer: you
don't know that every verb has a prefix.

I added the final part of my message to include *my* opinion on the subject,
not to disagree with yours.
