These last 3 examples are in the rover section, on page 49.
The examples are actually capitalized differently (I changed the 
capitalization to Voragh's above quote to show where), depending on the 
position of {-qu'}, to show what's being emphasized. This shows how {-qu'} 
(and presumably {-be'}) emphasizes the suffix/verb right before.
