QIj TKD 'ay' loS DoD loS (nav vaghmaH).
It only works that way with verbs used "adjectivally" after a noun.

If there's a Type 5 noun suffix on an adjectival verb, the only verb
suffixes permitted are rovers. (TKD says only {-qu'} is okay, but we know
from other canon that {-be'} and {-Ha'} are possible.)
