It's not a question of whether it would make sense. It can't be done. FAhA cmavo grammatically can not be converted. I would assume for the same reason the PU can not be converted, as both are tenses.

To the extent that FAhA etc. can control at least one sumti, the
notion of valency seems as much applicable to them as to BAI. "fa'a"
(FAhA) is one-valence, and "fa'e" (BAI) is two-valence. "se" likely
wouldn't make sense with a one-valence word, but the combination could
well be grammatical -- "prenu" is one-valence, without a predefined
second argument place, but "se prenu" is grammatical, syntactically
valid.
