According to HetaQ, Krankor asked Okrand at qep'a' loSDIch whether{ -be'} could be inserted between {-taH} and {-vIS} for a suffix combination {-taHbe'vIS} (meaning
something like “while discontinuously”). The answer was: "That's an interesting question."
Examples of {-taHbe’}:
tay'taHbe' 'Iw bIQ je
Blood and water don't mix. TKW
moratlh DaH bIHaw'laHtaHbe' puj 'uSDu'lIj
[translation not available] PB
qepHomDaq jIHtaHbe'. Saghal.
(MO qepHom 2013 untranslated greetings)
Examples of {-taH} and {-be’} on different verbs in the same sentence:
QaptaHvIS So'wI' QaplaHbe' nuHmey
weapons cannot be discharged while the cloak is
in operation. S33
bIyIntaH 'e' Daqotlhbe'
[You don't deserve to live (i.e. keep on living).] PK

lets write an example..
{jIvumtaH} "I am continuously working".
{jIvumtaHqu'} "I am very much continuously working". I would understand this as someone trying to emphasize the "continuously", though I can't say that in my mind there is much difference between
the {-taH} and the {-taHqu'}. after all there are 24 hours in the day, right ? If someone says "I am working continuously", then the maximum I can understand is those 24 hours. I don't see how the {-qu'}, can add more to this.
{jIvumtaHbe'} "I am not continuously working". I think this does make sense, and its ok to use it.
now, if your original question was with regards to rovers being placed after the {-taH} in the {-taHvIS}, then I think that the resulting sentence wouldn't make sense.
"while I am very much continuously working", "while I am not continuously working". I don't know.. I just can't *feel* what exactly these sentence could mean, or in which situations they would
be appropriate.
let alone the fact, that if we were to apply a rover in the aforementioned manner, then why place it right after the {-taH}, and not after the {-taHvIS} ? the way I understand it, practically,
the {-vIS} and {-taHvIS} are essentially the same. so, if we were to apply a rover, we could place it right after the {-taHvIS}, thus avoiding splitting them up, since they always seem to like so much each other.
