At the qepHom earlier this month, Marc told me and a few other folks<br>
that you can't have more than one {-be'} (or more than one {-qu'}) in a<br>
single word.<br>

I can confirm that, because I also observed or even was part of the discussion. But...<br>
<br>
Anyway, I should not that this was one of the situations where Okrand was overwhelmed by the question and may have answered without intensely thinking about it, hence maybe unintentionally contradicting himself.<br>
<br>
There was someone who mentioned that "no more than one suffix of each type may occur at a time" (chapter 4.2.10 TKD). It was this that Okrand confirmed. The mentioned rule regards only non-rovers. I'm sure Okrand did not think of the possible construction with two {-be'} in one word, so I would not put too much weight on what he said.<br>
<br>
TKD further says that {-be'} "follows the concept being negated". If I take this literally, I could probably use it nine times one a verb with nine sufixes:<br>
{jIghelbe'choHbe'laHbe'taHbe'} "I am not continously not able to not change not asking"<br>
<br>
Hey, let's add some -qu' and -Qo' :-)<br>
<br>
{qaleghbe'qu'} sounds okay, I guess we even have canon examples that will confirm that.<br>
