That's why <-be'> is a rover: <bIlughchu'be'> and <bIlughbe'chu'> are rather
different things. <bIlughchu'be'> means "You are not completely right".
Since the <-be'> comes after the <-chu'>, it negates the <-chu'> rather than
the <lugh>. <bIlughbe'chu'>, on the other hand, means "You are (utterly and)
completely wrong".
