I hope I'm not intruding on your territory, SuStel, but . . . 

<vItu'laHbe'> means "I can't find it." <tu'> is on TKD p.111.
You know that <laH> can't be "ability" because then it would be a noun, and
since that sentence needs a verb, <laH> must be the suffix to the verb <tu'>.

vI  -  tu' - laH - be'
I-it  find  can   not
I can't find it!
