ALL of these verbs which are coumpound of several suffixes must be
treated as "verb+suffix" and follow the rules, even when the english
translation conveys an individual idea.
For instance:
{poS} - "be open"
{poSmoH} - "open (something)"
{poSnISmoH} - "need to open"
It takes a while to get used to, but you certainly will one day and then
it even hurts to say *poSmoH-nIS*.
