[tlhIngan Hol] What exactly does the {'ej} connect ?

[mayqel qunenoS]

I see..

So, in order to say "the cat that I gave you and the bird of prey that I
sent you", I will say:

{vIghro' Danobbogh toQ DangeHbogh je}

And if I want to say "the cat that I gave you and the bird of prey that I
sent you, are noisy", I will write:

{chuS vIghro' Danobbogh toQ DangeHbogh je}

Would you agree with the above ?
