I accept this point, though I must admit I probably see as little a
distinction between "again" and "resume after stopping" as you see between
compound nouns and the noun-noun construction. I would appreciate your
explaining this difference with examples. In particular, I'm interested in
how you can express this "re-" or "again" concept WITHOUT {-qa'}, especially
since Okrand uses "again" in his example (though you do have to turn the page
to see it).
