>I wonder if you're allowed to use {-Ha'} on law'/puS verbs . . .
There are a few entries in the dictionary that might be okay there.
Are {belHa'}, {jotHa'}, {QeyHa'}, {QuchHa'}, {yuDHa'} and the like
full-fledged stative verbs, or are they really verbs with a suffix?
If the former, can we use them adjectivally or in a law'/puS phrase
even if the rules say "only {-qu'} may be used" and "this formula is
rigid"? If the latter, can we used *any* stative verb with a {-Ha'}
this way?
Sorry, all I have are questions. :-)
