Somewhere (TKD I suppose) it's written that the only suffixes following a verb used as an adjective can be the negation suffixes {-be', -Ha'} and the intensifier {-qu'}. I think it's logical that both can occur together. So I have no doubts that you can say {Duj tInqu'be'} with the intended meaning.
But other suffixes are excluded, do the answer to question 2 is no. It is easily understood, but ungrammatical.
/TKD/ only describes using *-qu'* in this way. Further canonical examples have shown us *-be'* and *-Ha'.* None has ever shown us multiple suffixes, though I would have no problem accepting *Duj tInqu'be'* for /not very big ship./ Although we have never seen any other verb suffixes, I would not at all be surprised to discover that type 6 verb suffixes are allowed, as in mayqel's **Duj tInba'*/obviously big ship/ or **Duj Dojbej*/certainly impressive ship/ or **Duj HoSghajchu'*/all-powerful ship/ or **Duj pujlaw'*/apparently weak ship./ But until such time as Okrand does this, these suffixes are off-limits. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
