I'm wondering, wouldn't <pagh=E2=80=99a=E2=80=99> convey "absolutely nothin=
g / absolute
nothingness"?
From what I understand while checking the TKD,it looks like the -'a' suffix
intensifies the meaning of the noun it is attached to, and "-Hom" reduces
the intensity of the meaning.
Thus, to express "a little nothing / almost nothing / very little", perhaps
<paghHom> is the way to go ?
