If SuStel is reading I'd be interested in his take on this, wrt to 
his "every verb needs an aspect suffix" idea.

Those errors always weird me. I also frequently typo gh/H and ch/j 
and j/q when it follows an I. It's obviously not a typo in the 
"finger hits wrong key" sense, seeing as I'm not using a pIqaD 
keyboard. They don't happen on words that I don't know well--well tey 
might, but that's a different story. No one doubts that I know the 
difference between -chugh and -chuq and won't confuse them, and 
clearly -chuq there follows a V7, so I'm not thinking -chuq. Do I 
whisper the sounds in my head and have them sound the same that way? 
I know I have chunked the "letters" in my head even if they are more 
than one keystroke, because if I type ghaH and then decide to change 
it to chaH, I always delete the gh and make it ch. How does my brain work?

And now I am wondering what the verb should be. Oh, I know.

For a moment I thought you were talking about fake history, but whoa, 
they asked me today in class when I started learning Klingon, and it 
was the *eighties*.  That was decades ago. Back then I handwrote my 
essays and paid someone to type them on a typewriter.
