TKD only talks about {-qu'} being permitted on adjectival verbs. But
examples from elsewhere tell us that the other rovers work. One of
the audiotapes spoke of {yIH lI'be'} "useless tribbles", and there's
a slang {Duj ngaDHa'} "wildly irresponsible or undisciplined person"
(literally, "unstable vessel") in Klingon for the Galactic Traveler.
