I think it does, depening how you read the question. He asked why he 
would need the suffix -qu' if he can stress the suffix with his voice.

My answer was that {-qu'} does not only stress its preceding syllable, 
it does more. That's why I quoted Klaa here. Klaa could have said 
{wItlha'TTAAHH} beut he cided to add {-qu'}, making the taH suffix more 
than just -taH. That's more than putting emphasis on it.

Maybe I did not express my thoughts enough, or I didn't understand the 
question correctly. Perhabs mayqel can just say if my answer was helpful 
or not.
