no, since {-qu'} is a verb suffix. We do have at least one other example 
where -qu' goes to the verb modifying the adverb, ST5: nom yIghoSqu'.

It's all a very vague theory, but I once summarized that in the wiki on
http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/ComparingAdverbs
and
http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/Fast

Okrand has said there is no (known) verb "to be fast", by the way.
