*SoHmo'* can mean two different things: /because of you/, or /because 
you are./ But *SoHmo'* is not a sentence all by itself, and there are no 
nouns for a copula, so the *'e'* can't be referring to it. Therefore the 
*'e'* must be referring to *tugh Dujmaj Qaw'lu'* and *SoHmo'* is a 
cause-phrase attached to the front of the sentence *'e' vISov.*
