(HQ 4.4):  Whether this {-Ha'} can be added to all adverbials is not clear. The notes taken while working with Maltz indicate that he balked at {vajHa'} ("not thus"?) but accepted {Do'Ha'} "unfortunately".  Information on other adverbials has not yet been uncovered, though it is probably in the notes somewhere.
