Unfortunately, as has been batted around in here previously, lu'
and laH can't go together. They're both Type 5, for no evident
good reason except that that's the way it is. (Languages DO get
perverse sometimes...) See TKD 4.2.5, para. 1. DoHa'. It makes
such useful constructions as yours impossible and forces us to
look for other ways to express the meaning. I rather like
