For me, the issue relates to the boundaries limiting the reach of the suffix {-wI'}. A suffix like {-meH} or {-mo'} or {-bogh} can drag adverbials along for the ride because they define clauses. {-wI'} doesn't form a clause. It just nominalizes a verb. It doesn't nominalize a whole clause. Just a word.
