They'll take a few, but it seems very limited - TKD lists -qu', and
-be' and -Ha' have been observed in the wild. (I think -Ha' is
derivational anyway - at this point I'd be surprised to see a
construction where you can't use a verb with -Ha'.) The reason I say
"seems" is that TKD says -qu' may follow verbs functioning
adjectivally, but it doesn't say other suffixes *can't* occur.
