[Tlhingan-hol] splitting -taHvIS

[Fiat Knox]

Has any instance cropped up where you said "while X was refusing to Y" and had to insert -Qo' between -taH and -vIS?
It just occurred to me that -Qo' can be used in a non-imperative, meaning refuse, and that -Qo' comes after all suffixes except a Type 9 - so -Qo' should come between -taH and -vIS. Other than -neS, it would be the only suffix technically capable of splitting these two suffixes.
While *vumtaHQo'vIS vutwI' ghung Soj je'wI'pu' as long as the cook refused to work, customers went hungry might technically be possible, does it sound awkward - or only as awkward as "To Boldly Go Where No-One Has Gone Before" does to an English grammarian with a loathing of split infinitives and dangling prepositions?
