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

Suppose someone asks: {qatlh choqIppu'?}/{qatlh choqIppta'?}. Somehow, I get the impression that by answering {qaqIpta'be'}, this answer could be interpreted as "I hit you, but it wasn't on purpose." Somehow, I get the impression that by combining {-ta'} with {-be'}, the listener could *still* understand that the action took place, but that it wasn't intentional. So, is this the case indeed? Does the {-ta'} leave room for interpretation for the {-pu'}? ~ mayqel qunen'oS
