I suppose {fu'e} would be the best way to do it. (We then lose the
possibility of emphasizing {fu'e} itself, but that doesn't seem
to be too big a loss.) That allows to differentiate things like 
"*buying shoes*" from "*buying* shoes" and "buying *shoes*",
which you can't do with a simple {ba'e} either.
