what is the difference in meaning between 1) jItlhaQqu'be' and 2) 
jItlhaQbe'qu'?

does #1 mean "i'm not very funny" and #2 mean "i'm very not funny (with 
emphatic not)"?  

and in general how are the meanings of the verb suffixes changed by the 
differing positions of the rovers?  tkd doesn't address this very thoroughly.
