Sorry, Nick. You can't nominalize a verb and then use a verb suffix on
it. Once you add {-wI'} the word is a noun, and as such cannot accept {-laH}.
{legh} is a verb. {leghwI'} is a noun. {leghwI'laH} is a non-word. That is
not to say that your non-word is not interesting. The tumbling thoughts it
creates are quite nice. It just doesn't happen to nearly follow the
grammatical rules of Klingon.
