<< }Example: if I say <jIroppu'> what does it mean? "I am not sick" is
}<jIropbe'>. "I was sick" is something like <wa'Hu' jIrop>. I think, if it
}means anything, it means "My being sick is completed." Thus, I am well. maj.
I had been sick/I have been sick/I will have been sick.

----peHruS adds----
TKW 13 reveals {maHemtaH}, which indicates {Hem}, a stative verb, may take a
type 7 verb suffix.
TKW 34 adds {tay'taHbe....}, in which {tay'} is a stative verb.
TKW 71 adds {batlh bIHeghjaj}, using Hegh with -jaj.
And, for proof that a stative verb may take -pu', try TKW 72.
