Here what I actually wanted to say is that I wasn't sure about -pu in
QongchoHpu'mo', then I gave incorrect example, silly me... :/

QongchoHmo' seemed to do the job but that would mean something more like as
he is merely falling asleep which isn't quite the same.

It's not quite what I wanted to say but I suppose there's no other way to
say it.
