   Whether this {-Ha'} can be added to all adverbials is not clear. The
   notes taken while working with Maltz indicate that he balked at {vajHa'}
   ("not thus?") but accepted {Do'Ha'} "unfortunately". Information on
   other adverbials has not yet been uncovered, though it is probably
   in the notes somewhere." (HolQeD 4.4)
