It's not an issue of interpretation, it clearly says that only -qu'
can be used when -Daq is used, but says nothing about other cases.
Further, there are examples in the TKD where there are adjectival
verbs that have suffixes other than -qu'
nuqDaq waqwIj vIlamHa' choHmoH
Since you have -Ha' here, either a) Okrand has made a mistake, or b)
your interpretation is wrong.
