I'm in pretty much the same boat as SuStel, but I think perhaps it's like with -ghach:
Adding it to a verb with a prefix is legal, but highly marked.

An oft-asked question. Personally, I don't think so. I think
nominalization takes priority over accord; it happens first. We've never
seen anything like it. And you can get the same result with {munuQbogh
vay'}.
