Interesting.. However, couldn't he change this rule even now ?
Okrand has never changed any rule, but sometimes made additions.
Couldn't maltz say something like "research into the dialect (dialect name goes here), revealed that in this dialect -lu' and -laH can indeed coexist" ?
He did in KGT, somehow, in the chapter "Intentional ungrammaticality": "some speakers seem to want to put the two concepts into a single word, and, on rare occasion, they will do so. Rather than violating the rules by using the two suffixes sequentially (that is, {-lu’laH} or {-laHlu’}), however, these speakers will say either {-luH} or {-la’}" -- Lieven L.
