[tlhIngan Hol] does the {-ta'} leave room for interpretation for the {-pu'} ?

Yes, something like that.

Anyway, perhaps I'm overanalyzing this matter; let alone the fact,
that neither in english nor in greek, someone could express the "I did
not inflict a deliberate hit on you", with a simple "I didn't hit
you". Context would have to clarify.. So, I'll just say a simple
{qaqIppu'be'}, and leave it at that.
