TKD does have a sequence of variations showing this very thing with {-vIp} 
in TKD (p.37?):

choHoHvIp
you are afraid to kill me.

choHoHvIpbe'
you are not afraid to kill me

choHoHbe'vIp
you are afraid to not kill me

nuqIpvIp
they are afraid to hit us.

HIHoHvIpQo'
Don't be afraid to kill me!

pIHoHvIpbe'qu'
We are not afraid to kill you

pIHoHvIpqu'be'
We are not afraid to kill you.

pIHoHqu'vIpbe'
We are not afraid to kill you

Note the last three examples with {-qu'} and {-be'}.
