/TKD/ only describes using *-qu'* in this way. Further canonical 
examples have shown us *-be'* and *-Ha'.* None has ever shown us 
multiple suffixes, though I would have no problem accepting *Duj 
tInqu'be'* for /not very big ship./

Although we have never seen any other verb suffixes, I would not at all 
be surprised to discover that type 6 verb suffixes are allowed, as in 
mayqel's **Duj tInba'*/obviously big ship/ or **Duj Dojbej*/certainly 
impressive ship/ or **Duj HoSghajchu'*/all-powerful ship/ or **Duj 
pujlaw'*/apparently weak ship./ But until such time as Okrand does this, 
these suffixes are off-limits.
