Here, I would use {wI'-} instead of {ma-} just for the sake of clarity.

Be careful with your placement of {-be'}; as a rover, it negates the 
preceeding syllable:  
{wIwavbe'nIS}  (we need to not divide it)
{wIwavnISbe'}  (we do not need to divide it)
{mojaq 'oHbejbe'}  (it is not undoubtedly a suffix)
{mojaq 'oHbe'bej}  (it is certainly not a suffix)

I would say {lItHa' mu'} (the word of {lItHa'}) instead.
