Verb suffixes of interest:
-qu' - emphatic (rover)
-be' - negation (rover)
-Ha' - undo, misdo (rover)
-chu' - clearly, perfectly (type 6)
And some adverbials:
pe'vIl - forcefully
loQ - slightly
qIp - hit
qIpqu' - really hit
pe'vIl qIp - forcefully hit
qIpchu' - hit perfectly
loQ qIp - slightly hit
qIqqu'be' - not really hit (hit, but not very hard)
qIpchu'be' - hit imperfectly (a glancing blow, perhaps)
