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

(Has this been documented anywhere? I didn't write down what Marc said
verbatim; I only remember having the discussion)

The existence of that rule(-Hey) is going to need some stronger evidence before I start following it. I remember hearing Marc Okrand agree, many years ago, with the idea that two {-be'} or two {-qu'} suffixes *in a row* would not be considered proper. Are you sure that's not what he was saying?
