Ah, I see now, much better. I still like some other options better, but
yours makes much more sense to me now. The only suggestion I have is to
replace "*vaQbe'boghvaD" with "vaQbe'wI'vaD". "-vaD" is a noun suffix and
cannot got on a verb (unless the verb is made into a noun via "-wI'" or
"-ghach", the two known nominalizing suffixes). "-bogh" does not make
verbs into nouns per se; it makes clauses into noun phrases. "That which
is not aggressive" is "vaQbe'wI'", not "vaQbe'bogh." You could say
"vaQbe'bogh nuv/ghot/Doch/whatever" for person/thing which is not
aggressive, but the neater wat is by using "-wI'".
