Hm, interesting. tugh and DaH are both time adverbs. I regarded the use
of -Ha' here in the sense of "un-" which must not always mean the opposite.
qen - recently
qenHa' - not recently, which is a longer time ago
tugh - soon
tughHa' - not soon, which is later
But in general I agree that it is always contect related, and I agree
that there are several words which just do't make sense with -Ha'.
