I remember this suffix with the homophone verb {ta'}.
Perhabs this is even Klingon ethymology :-)

{vIHoHta'} "I did kill him."

could be a shorter form of 
{vIHoH 'e' vIta'} "I accomplished that I kill him."

or perhabs
{vIHoH 'e' 'oH ta''e'} "it is an accomplishement that I kill him"

This does indeed sound weird in english, in Klingon, it makes sense,
don't it?
