<br>
Not permissible, I'm afraid; you're using two Type-2 verb suffixes (-nIS and -rup).<br>

&gt; <font face="arial,sans-serif" size="1"><span style="font-size:13px;">Well, actually, I still like &lt;veS&gt; instead of &lt;</span></font><font color="#500050" face="Tahoma" size="1"><span style="font-size:13px;">noH</span></font><font face="arial,sans-serif" size="1"><span style="font-size:13px;">&gt;...</span></font>

</div>
<br>
I'm torn between noH and veS. I like veS because it's not a particular war one needs to be prepared for, but at the same time, it does feel like one is talking about concrete wars, not warfare as a concept.<br>

</span></div>
roj DaneHchugh vaj yIQojrup - &quot;If you want peace, prepare to wage war&quot; works for me.<br>
Also, to state this without an imperative prefix - roj DaneHchugh vaj bIQojrup - is like stating &quot;If you want peace, then you are ready to wage war.&quot; The same construction as bIje'be'chugh vaj bIHegh - &quot;If you are not buying, then you are dying.&quot;<br>
