There is no canon for this. In TKD, Okrand only allows the use
of {-qu'} as the only verbal suffix allowed on a stative verb
while it is being used adjectivally. Meanwhile, he violates this
rule on CK by using {-be'} in {wa'maH yIHmey lI'be'}.
Following from this, {-Ha'} is a logical candidate for use on an
adjectival verb, but this has not been confirmed anywhere in
canon that I know of.
