ja' Bellerophon:
 >>> Isn't {lo'laH} an exception?

ja' Ruben Molina:

>> Maybe {lo'laH} was related with the "use-value" of a commodity:  {lo'laHlu'}

ja' De'vID:
> 'ach DuHbe' *{lo'laHlu'}. tay'laHbe' {-laH} {-lu'} je.

You are right, we cannot use two same type suffixes together in the way 
that Ruben is using it above. But if I understand the explanation 
correctly, {lo'laH} "be valuable" is really one verb (quote: "not the 
verb lo' plus Type 5 suffix"), then it must be okay to say

{lo'laHlaH} "it is able to be valuable"
