To review the types of intervening suffixes MO has used:
Type 3 (change)
naDqa'ghach "re-commendation" (TKD)
Type 4 (cause):
quvmoHghach "process of honoring" (HQ 3.3)
Type 5 (ability):
lo'laHghach "value" (TKD)
lo'laHbe'ghach "worthlessness" (TKD)
Type 7 (aspect):
tlhutlhtaHghach "ongoing drinking" (HQ 3.3)
nobtaHghach "ongoing giving" (HQ 3.3)
nobpu'ghach "a given (a finished case of giving)" (HQ 3.3)
belpu'ghach "having been pleased" (HQ 3.3)
Rover:
naDHa'ghach "discommendation" (TKD)
quvHa'ghach "dishonor" (TKW)
